In the wake of the January 6 Capitol events, a narrative was swiftly constructed—one painting a picture of insurrection and widespread violence. However, emerging evidence and dedicated legal efforts are challenging this portrayal once and for all—seeking to uncover the truth and secure justice for those ensnared in the aftermath.

At the forefront of this effort stands Peter Ticktin, a lifelong friend and trusted attorney of President Donald Trump. In April 2022, President Trump personally tapped Ticktin to conduct a parallel investigation into what really happened on January 6. In a recent meeting, Ticktin has brought forward the cases of ten men—men he believes are innocent of any acts of violence against law enforcement—directly to Ed Martin, urging him to carefully consider full pardons for these patriots who have been relentlessly persecuted.
