Man pardoned for role in January 6 attack rearrested on federal gun charges

Daniel Ball granted clemency by Trump over riot-related offenses but remains in jail under separate gun charge

A Florida man pardoned for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot was swiftly rearrested on Wednesday on federal gun charges.

Daniel Ball, 38, of Homosassa, Florida, remains detained after federal authorities executed an arrest warrant for illegal firearm possession - a charge that predates but emerged from his involvement in the 2021 Capitol insurrection. The arrest marks a complex legal move that suggests presidential pardons may not provide absolute protection from prosecution.
