WASHINGTON – A federal judge has vacated the remaining convictions against four individuals identified as Proud Boys. The decision by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell follows a request from the Department of Justice.
These convictions represented some of the last remaining cases linked to the January 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capitol. They stood after President Donald Trump issued a series of pardons in January 2025.
The Department of Justice initiated the request for vacating these specific convictions. Judge Howell then reviewed and approved that request.
The cases involved charges connected to the events of January 6, 2021. The specific details of the charges and the individuals involved were not immediately detailed in the court's public filing regarding the vacating of convictions.
This development impacts the legal trajectory of these particular cases following the broader context of executive pardons.
