Pardoned J6 Protestor Says He Has Proof Police Incited Riots At Capitol
28th January 2025
Virginia Beach resident Jacob Hiles is a charter boat captain arrested for crimes related to the protests on J6. He ultimately plead guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. In exchange for Hiles’ guilty plea, the Department of Justice dropped the remaining three misdemeanor charges against him. He was given two years probation.
However, Hiles says there’s a lot more to the story that he could not tell the public until he was officially pardoned by Donald Trump last week.
The boat captain tells a local NBC affiliate, WAVY-TV 10 that he has video proof of capitol police acting to incite the riots. At least 9 minutes of his video is posted to WAVY-TV 10, though it appears to be heavily edited.
