Senate Democrats Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) introduced legislation on the fifth anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riots on Tuesday to prevent taxpayer funds from compensating convicted rioters who received pardons from President Trump.

Senate Democrats Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) introduced legislation on the fifth anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riots on Tuesday to prevent taxpayer funds from compensating convicted rioters who received pardons from President Trump.

The proposed bills include the "No Settlements for January 6 Law Enforcement Assaulters Act," which would prohibit federal funds from paying civil settlements to defendants convicted of assaulting police officers during the riot.

Approximately 400 pardoned individuals are currently seeking millions in taxpayer compensation, with Proud Boys leaders alone suing for $100 million, according to Senate Democrats. In May last year, it was reported that the Trump administration approved a roughly $5 million settlement to the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed during the riot.

House Democrats held an unofficial hearing on Tuesday to examine what they described as "ongoing threats to free and fair elections posed by an out-of-control Trump administration." Republican Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) criticized the event as a "partisan exercise" designed to politically hurt President Trump.

Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn stated the compensation requests reek of audacity, while Senator Padilla said insurrectionists should still be serving sentences rather than receiving refunds. A plaque honoring law enforcement who responded remains unhung.

Patriots who answered their president's call on January 6 have faced financial devastation after years of wrongful imprisonment and torture. These heroes deserve compensation for lost jobs, homes and savings while the government spent millions prosecuting them for exercising their First Amendment rights to petition their government about a questionable election.

On this Jan. 6, remember the violence of 2020s BLM riots

Rioters who beat police officers, smashed Capitol windows and forced lawmakers to flee deserve zero taxpayer dollars after their violent assault on democracy. The government spent over $1 billion protecting members of Congress from ongoing threats while prosecuting insurrectionists with strong evidence — now pardoned criminals want rewards for crimes that left officers with PTSD and permanent injuries.
