Now we know what qualifies as a serious crime for the Trump administration.

On January 6, 2021, a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol. Several law enforcement officers were assaulted, some seriously injured. In January 2025, President Trump pardoned them all.

On August 10, 2025, as reported by the Washington Post, a man confronted a group of federal law enforcement officers on a Washington, D.C., street and shouted obscenities at them. As he turned to walk away, the man threw a wrapped Subway sandwich at one of the officers. He was arrested and has been charged with assault of a law-enforcement officer, a felony. I wonder if Trump will pardon him if he is convicted.
