A federal judge has made a ruling regarding President Donald Trump's pardons for supporters involved in the January 6, 2021, riot. The judge determined that these pardons do not apply to a Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican parties' headquarters.

The man, Brian J. Cole Jr., was not charged or convicted at the time the pardons were issued. This distinction was noted by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali in his ruling.

Further details on this case are available from the source, including the judge's full order and the context of the pardons.
