US Capitol rioter sentenced to life in prison for plot to attack FBI office

Edward Kelley, a veteran pardoned by Trump, was found guilty of trying to kill officers who investigated him

A US military veteran, previously pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol, was sentenced to life in prison this week for plotting to attack an FBI office and assassinate other law enforcement officers.

Edward Kelley, 36, was found guilty last November of trying to attack officers who investigated him over his actions at the US Capitol in Washington DC when pro-Trump supporters tried stormed the building in hopes, ultimately in vain, of stopping the certification of Joe Biden's presidential victory over Trump in the 2020 election.
