Pardoned Jan. 6 figure gets four-year sentence for massive child-pornography stash

A man pardoned by President Trump for Jan. 6 actions, Daniel Tocci, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for possessing more than 100,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse. Prosecutors highlighted disturbing material on his laptop, while his attorney argued the case originated from the pardoned Jan. 6 conduct. The DOJ has shown varying approaches to using Jan. 6 evidence in separate prosecutions, with this case reflecting the broader legal controversy surrounding post-pardon investigations.
