Trump issued a second pardon for Daniel Edward Wilson.
Wilson had already been pardoned for his actions on January 6, 2021, when on his first day in office, Trump granted clemency to everyone charged or convicted for the attack.
But Wilson had remained behind bars due to a separate conviction for illegally possessing six guns and nearly 4,800 rounds of ammunition.
After the second pardon, he was released from prison where he had been serving a five-year sentence.
Trump also pardoned Suzanne Ellen Kaye, who was convicted of threatening to shoot FBI agents who were investigating whether she was at the Capitol on January 6th.
She was released last year after serving 18 months.

In his post, Trump called for conservatives to primary Greene, saying, quote, If the right person runs, they will have my complete and unyielding support.
Greene said in a post of her own that she had sent the president a text regarding the Epstein files, which she said, quote, sent him over the edge.
She said Trump is trying to make an example of her to scare other Republicans ahead of the House's vote to force the release of the Epstein files.
Greene has been a longtime Trump ally and prominent MAGA figure, but she's been at odds with the president, notably in calling for the Justice Department to release the files about the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
