“An individual who was sentenced to 41 months in prison for felony assault, resisting, impeding officers, felony obstruction, official proceedings related to January 6th. A second individual, felony, assault, resisting and impeding certain officers. He was sentenced to 44 months. Both of these felons from North Carolina were pardoned by President Trump.
