Rioter pardoned by Trump convicted of conspiracy to murder FBI agents
Edward Kelly, a January 6 rioter pardoned by Donald Trump last January, has been sentenced to life in prison.
He was convicted of planning the assassination of FBI special agents investigating his role in the Capitol insurrection.
Federal prosecutors described Kelly as a man "remorseless" for his actions. Calling himself a "patriot", he allegedly organized paramilitary exercises, planned his operation in detail and drew up a hit list of federal agents.
