Judge allows Jan. 6 rioters, pardoned by Trump, to visit Capitol without prior permission.

A federal judge has allowed January 6 riot defendants, who received sentence commutations from former President Trump, to visit the U.S. Capitol without prior permission. Judge Amit Mehta did not remove the visiting restrictions from sentencing documents but acknowledged that Trump's actions nullify these restrictions. This decision follows a Justice Department request to lift the travel restrictions on the defendants, including Oath Keepers members.
