It’s been four years since the riot at the U.S. Capitol shook the country. It was the first time in history there wasn’t a peaceful transfer of power as the electoral votes were finalized. This week’s presidential certification was notably without the violence and chaos that defined January 6, 2021.
Thousands took part as the Capitol Building was broken into and politicians ducked for cover. President-elect Donald Trump has said he will pardon at least some of those who were convicted for their roles in the insurrection. Among those involved, at least eight Arizonans have been convicted growing out of the Jan. 6 riot, though their roles varied widely. One was Jacob Angeli, known as the “QAnon shaman.”
