EXECUTIVE PRODUCED: JAN. 6 – THE FIGHT TO REWRITE HISTORY

Conceived, developed and executive produced this gripping half hour special examining in the role January 6th ABC’s Jay O’Brien reports on the lengths charged insurrectionists and their loved ones are going to in an effort to gain their freedom and change the narrative around Jan. 6.

Over the course of a months-long investigation, we found the rhetoric of pardons among those who participated in January 6, 2021 is being welcomed by current and former Jan. 6 defendants and their families. Some are seeking to echo the message being heard in far-right media and even the 2024 campaign trail, trying to paint January 6 not as a violent attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election, but as a peaceful demonstration. Others are in prison, following the 2024 election closely and waiting for a pardon.

We packed it all in this half-hour special with ABC’s Jay O’Brien traveling across the country to meet with defendants and their families as they look ahead to a second Trump term.
