Pentagon taps ex-Jan. 6 participant for sensitive special-operations policy post
A man who pleaded guilty to entering the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot now works at the Pentagon as a special assistant in the Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict policy office, holding a top-secret clearance; his hiring was confirmed by a defense official and follows his 14-day sentence and a Trump-era pardon, with him expressing remorse for his actions.
