American far-right anti-government militia with leaders convicted over Jan. 6
The government has dismissed Jan. 6 riot prosecutions after President Trump has granted sweeping clemencies and pardons to those involved, including cases tied to emissions-control devices. The judge has described the events at the Capitol as a perilous attack on the Constitution, while outlining the ongoing legal fallout as some cases are dismissed and others are clarified.
The United States has revoked the visa of Brazil’s ambassador in Washington in a reciprocal move after Brazil declined to approve President Trump’s nominee for ambassador in Brasília. The Brazilian diplomat faces no expulsion, and her visa will be restored if Brazil grants agrément to the American nominee. The dispute coincides with Brazil’s October election and broader bilateral disagreements.
