One of the several dozen Illinoisans charged with crimes during the January 6th 2021 protests at the U.S. Capitol feels vindicated after a sweeping pardon by President Donald Trump.
Larry Ligas said he wasn’t at the Capitol with any group that day. He was there by himself to try and have conversations about policy issues with legislators and others. Later, he was charged and said he was further pursued for challenging the charges.
While grateful that he’s been vindicated by the President’s pardon, Ligas didn’t want a sweeping pardon, lumping his vindication with others.
Ligas plans a news conference in Chicago this afternoon to further discuss the issue.
