DAs may try to charge Jan. 6 participants granted clemency by Trump with new crimes on state, local levels

The ordeal may not be over for some of the more than 1,500 Jan. 6 criminal defendants granted clemency by President Donald Trump — as certain prosecutors are investigating charges at the state level.

Krasner's office could theoretically take action against the more than 100 Pennsylvania residents who received full pardons or sentence commutations, including a Philadelphia-based Proud Boys leader who was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of seditious conspiracy and another Pittsburgh-area man sentenced to 14 years in prison for indiscriminately spraying pepper spray at police officers, throwing a folding chair at officers and wielding a large wooden "tire thumper," according to the Justice Department. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.

Krasner declined to detail further how, or if, his office will move on the state charges, and his office did not respond to several requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

However, Krasner maintained that in his view, "there is a path" for charging Jan. 6 individuals — and not just those living in the Keystone State.
