A man linked to Jan. 6 pipe bombs claims Trump's pardons cover his case, but experts say they likely don’t apply to pre-pardon federal crimes.

A man charged in connection with planting pipe bombs before the January 6 Capitol riot claims President Trump's recent mass pardons cover his case, though legal experts say the pardons likely do not apply to federal crimes committed before the pardon's issuance. The Justice Department has not confirmed whether the pardons extend to such offenses.
