President Donald Trump has reportedly pardoned a MAGA supporter who threatened to shoot FBI agents.
Trump pardoned two individuals with connections to the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt, according to a report published Saturday.
Fox News reported that Trump pardoned Suzanne Kaye, who was "sentenced to 18 months in prison for allegedly threatening to shoot FBI agents in social media posts."
"The Biden administration's Department of Justice stated that on Jan. 31, 2021, the day before Kaye was set to meet with FBI agents regarding a tip that she was at the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, she posted videos on social media in which she said she would 'shoot' FBI agents if they came to her house," the outlet reports. "The FBI learned of Kaye's social media posts on Feb. 8, 2021, and arrested Kaye at her Florida home on Feb. 17, 2021."
Fox adds:
"A White House official told Fox News Digital that Kaye is prone to stress-induced seizures and suffered one while the jury read its verdict in 2023. The official said that the case was one of disfavored political speech, which is protected under the First Amendment."
