A federal judge, Dabney Friedrich, has denied the Trump administration's attempt to apply former President Donald Trump's January 6 pardon to a defendant's unrelated gun crimes. This ruling marks the first instance where a judge has rejected efforts by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to broaden the scope of Trump's pardon, which was originally intended for offenses related to the Capitol attack. Friedrich's decision emphasizes the judicial authority in interpreting the limits of presidential pardons, particularly in cases that do not directly relate to the actions taken during the January 6 events.
