President Joe Biden issued a pardon to Adam Schiff covering any offenses related to the activities or subject matter of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Capitol attack. However, the pardon explicitly does not extend to any offenses connected to the Russiagate investigation or related matters. Legal experts and commentators have noted this distinction, emphasizing that Schiff remains unprotected against allegations tied to Russiagate. Additionally, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., Royce Lamberth, denied a request from a January 6 defendant seeking reimbursement for court-ordered penalties, underscoring ongoing judicial actions related to the January 6 events.
