DOJ seeks to vacate Jan. 6 seditious-conspiracy convictions for 12 defendants

Federal prosecutors filed court papers seeking to vacate the seditious-conspiracy convictions of 12 members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers tied to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot; the move echoes President Trump’s commutations and, if approved, would erase those convictions from the defendants’ records and could affect future prosecutions and the historical narrative of the attack.
