Statute of limitations for January 6 federal charges expires today

BREAKING: The statute of limitations for most federal charges related to the January 6 protests and allegations of 2020 election fraud expires today, January 6, 2026. Pam Bondi, a prominent figure associated with these issues, is not expected to take any action regarding these charges.

This development marks a significant point in the ongoing legal discussions surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, when protests escalated into a breach of the U.S. Capitol. The expiration of the statute of limitations means that federal authorities will no longer be able to pursue most charges related to that day and the subsequent claims of election fraud.

As previously reported, the January 6 protests have been the subject of extensive investigation and legal scrutiny. The expiration of the statute of limitations may close the door on potential federal prosecutions linked to these events.
