Watch: AG Blanche refuses to rule out fund payout for pardoned J6 rioter convicted of child molestation
President Trump pardoned over 1,500 January 6th rioters. One of them, Andrew Paul Johnson, went on to molest two children after his release. Johnson told one of his victims he expected to receive $10 million as a January 6er — and promised them a cut to buy their silence. At a Senate hearing yesterday, Senator Van Hollen asked Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche one question: would Johnson be eligible for a payout from Trump's $1.8 billion fund? Blanche called the question a lie. Van Hollen was reading from a sworn police affidavit. Blanche never said no.
