First pardoned Jan. 6 rioters released in DC
Two Pennsylvania brothers arrested for their role in the riots were released.
President Donald Trump returned from a campaign-style rally at a Washington, D.C., arena to the White House to sign more executive orders, including a sweeping one that pardoned those convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Earlier after taking the oath of office and events at the Capitol, Trump spoke to a roaring crowd at Capital One Arena, where he also signed several executive orders.
After he is through signing the orders, Trump will attend inaugural balls tonight.

"Today is about President Trump and starting to undo some of the disasters from the past four years," Miller said shortly after the news of Biden's inauguration day pardons broke.
