The Justice Department has concluded that a military veteran\u2019s presidential pardon for charges that he stormed the U.S. Capitol<\/a> also extends to his separate conviction for illegally possessing stolen grenades and classified information, according to a court filing Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremy Brown<\/a>, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army, was sentenced in April 2023 to seven years and three months in prison after a federal jury in Florida convicted him of weapons charges. Federal agents investigating Brown\u2019s alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol were searching Brown\u2019s home in Florida when they found stolen Army grenades, an unregistered rifle and a stolen classified document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown\u2019s charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack in the nation\u2019s capital were still pending last month when President Donald Trump pardoned him and hundreds of other Capitol riot defendants on his first day back in the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
