A Tennessee man pardoned by Trump in January for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol will nevertheless serve a life sentence for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a “civil war,” according to prosecutors.

Edward Kelley, who was the fourth U.S. Capitol rioter to enter the building on Jan. 6, 2021, faced a separate prosecution for targeting federal agents while he was being investigated for his role in the Capitol attack.

The Justice Department argued Kelley created a “kill list” of FBI agents and others who investigated his role in the Jan. 6 siege. Prosecutors said Kelley “distributed this list — along with videos containing images of certain FBI employees identified on the list — to a co-conspirator as part of his ‘mission.’”

    The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.

    Sorry, I skimmed the article earlier and missed that, but now I see it.
