Also among those pardoned was one of the riot's most recognisable figures, Jacob Chansley, the self-styled QAnon Shaman, who was released from jail in 2023 after serving 27 months of his 41-month jail sentence.
He told the BBC that he heard the news from his lawyer while he was at the gym.
He added: "I walked outside and I screamed 'freedom' at the top of my lungs and then gave a good Native American war cry."
Of course he did.
