Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes were released from prison following President Donald Trump's pardon for Jan. 6 rioters.
President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned more than 1,000 people charged in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, and commuted the sentences of leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
