Several judges let their disapproval of President Donald Trump’s pardons for over 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants show in orders dismissing cases.

Judges for the federal district court in Washington, D.C. opined that Trump’s decision to commute sentences for 14 individuals and pardon all others convicted on charges related to Jan. 6 could not change the “truth” about that day.

“[T]his Court cannot let stand the revisionist myth relayed in this presidential pronouncement,” Judge Beryl Howell wrote in an order Wednesday. “The prosecutions in this case and others charging defendants for their criminal conduct at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, present no injustice, but instead reflect the diligent work of conscientious public servants, including prosecutors and law enforcement officials, and dedicated defense attorneys, to defend our democracy and rights and preserve our long tradition of peaceful transfers of power—which, until January 6, 2021, served as a model to the world—all while affording those charged every protection guaranteed by our Constitution and the criminal justice system.”

Howell made the comments in an order dismissing cases against Proud Boy leader Nicholas Ochs and Texas man Nicholas Decarlo, who threw smoke bombs at police. Both were sentenced to four years in prison in Dec. 2022.
