Sen. John Fetterman Unknowingly Poses with Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter

Fetterman’s office states he was unaware of Adam Johnson’s identity, as Trump grants pardons to over 1,500 Capitol riot participants.

Senator John Fetterman was photographed with Adam Johnson, a Jan. 6 Capitol rioter known for taking Nancy Pelosi's lectern, during Trump’s inauguration events.
Fetterman’s office clarified he did not recognize Johnson and took dozens of photos with attendees that day.
The photo surfaced online as Johnson celebrated his unconditional pardon granted by President Trump on his first day back in office.
Trump issued pardons for approximately 1,500 individuals involved in the Capitol attack, including Johnson, while commuting sentences for 14 others.
Fetterman’s bipartisan actions, including prior meetings with Trump and support for GOP-led legislation, have drawn mixed reactions within his party.
