(Washington, D.C.) Monday marked four years since the attack on the U.S. Capitol, and over 1,450 people have been arrested and prosecuted by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice. However, President-elect Donald Trump will pardon these rioters when he gets inaugurated on January 20th. Ninety-five Pennsylvanians are being charged after the invasion of the Capitol. Beaver County natives Russell James Peterson, Nicholas J. Perretta, and Mitchell Paul Vukich all pleaded guilty in 2021 to demonstrations outside the Capitol.
