Months after he faced liberal outrage for his sweeping January 6th pardons, President Trump is continuing to help supporters of his with their legal troubles.

Trump signed pardons for two individuals charged in the Biden Justice Department's controversial January 6th probe, Suzanne Ellen Kaye and Daniel Edwin Wilson, the Hill reported.

Man pardoned 2nd time

Ed Martin, who is Trump's pardon czar, announced the developments on X, casting both pardon recipients as the victims of weaponized justice.

Thank you: @POTUS! The Biden DOJ targeted Suzanne Kaye for social media posts—and she was sentenced to 18 months in federal lock up. President Trump is unwinding the damage done by Biden’s DOJ weaponization, so the healing can begin. ⚖️ pic.twitter.com/pIAvZ3V4Ef

Trump previously signed a blanket January 6th pardon on his first day back in the White House, delivering swiftly on a pledge to free supporters of his whom he had described repeatedly as political prisoners or "hostages" of the Biden administration.

Despite the sweeping pardon, Wilson remained in prison over an unrelated gun charge that was brought as a result of the Biden administration's sprawling January 6th dragnet, which uncovered a stash of illegal guns and ammo inside Wilson's home.

Wilson had been barred from having the weapons because of prior felony convictions.

"Prosecutorial overreach"

While the Trump Justice Department argued the blanket January 6th pardon covered the gun charges, the courts pushed back, and Wilson was set to remain in jail until 2028 before he was set free on Friday.

"Because the search of Mr. Wilson's home was due to the events of January 6, President Trump is pardoning Mr. Wilson for the firearm issues," the White House said.

A lawyer for Wilson, George Pallas, said Wilson “was a victim of prosecutorial overreach and weaponized government” who “committed no real crime.”

“His prosecution was a disgrace, his conviction a travesty, and his imprisonment an outrage,” Pallas added. “This pardon doesn’t just free him—it exposes the politically driven witch hunt that never should have happened.”

Threats or speech?

Like Wilson, Suzanne Ellen Kaye was charged indirectly because of January 6th. But unlike Wilson, whose five-year punishment was cut short, Kaye had already served her 18-month sentence when Trump pardoned her.

Kaye was found guilty of threatening federal agents on social media after the FBI reached out to her following a tip about her possible presence at the riot. She denied being there and proceeded to share videos online in which she threatened to shoot FBI agents.

A White House official said Kaye was targeted over legitimate political speech and that she has "stress-induced seizures" that were triggered when she was convicted.

The official said this is “clearly a case of disfavored First Amendment political speech being prosecuted and an excessive sentence.”
