在被赦免的1月6日骚乱被告提起的一系列诉讼浪潮中,至少有一笔经济赔偿达成后,部分众议院民主党人周三提出立法,以阻止任何进一步的纳税人资金流向国会山骚乱参与者。
该法案由北卡罗来纳州民主党众议员黛博拉·罗斯(Deborah Ross)发起。她在1月份的听证会上对被赦免骚乱者试图从案件中获得赔偿或 restitution 表示担忧。
“赦免行为再次给受害者带来创伤,”罗斯在上个月的听证会上表示。她还指出,特朗普总统对骚乱被告的全面赦免也免除了袭击者对其在叛乱中造成数百万美元损失的赔偿责任。
罗斯在众议院提出的新法案将禁止向任何”1月6日赔偿基金”分配纳税人资金,并禁止对被定罪的国会山骚乱者支付的损害赔偿进行进一步退款。
“我们现在看到骄傲男孩组织试图挪用纳税人的钱,声称他们在1月6日是受害者,这显然是虚假的,”罗斯告诉CBS新闻。
“我们必须明确表示,国会认为这些叛乱分子不应该因为试图推翻选举、破坏财产和伤害国会警察而得到奖励,”她说,”这简直荒谬至极。”
罗斯的立法类似于1月份由加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪利亚(Alex Padilla)提出的参议院法案,其委员会负责监督美国国会警察和国会大厦区域。
律师马克·麦克洛斯基(Mark McCloskey)在其社交媒体页面上称自己”支持J6赔偿事业”,他在8月的X平台(原推特)上发帖:”致所有J6政治犯——我正在尽我所能加速建立索赔解决程序,以便让你们重新站起来并获得真正的正义。”
“我不会停止斗争,也永远不会退缩,”他写道。
特朗普政府已批准至少一项与2021年1月6日冲击国会大厦暴徒有关的民事和解协议。司法部签署了一项约500万美元的和解协议,赔偿对象是阿什莉·巴比特(Ashli Babbitt)的家人。巴比特在试图闯入众议院议长休息室时被国会警察开枪击毙。
在2026年1月6日国会民主党举行的听证会上,国会议员和一名前国会山骚乱检察官抨击了为被定罪骚乱者提供1月6日”赔偿”的提议。参与骚乱应对的美国国会警察温斯顿·平乔恩(Winston Pingeon)警官作证称,在国会山骚乱中受伤的140多名警察尚未获得特殊”赔偿基金”或对其损失的赔偿。平乔恩告诉小组委员会:”我不知道有任何一名警官因1月6日的牺牲而获得任何形式的赔偿。”
过去一年中,一系列骚乱被告正式要求纳税人资助偿还他们在认罪协议或刑事判决中作为一部分支付的法庭命令赔偿和罚款。
CBS新闻审查的法庭文件显示,总损害赔偿金额超过300万美元。国会估计,在特朗普总统赦免前,这些赔偿中只有15%实际得到支付。
该法案明确规定:”尽管有任何其他法律规定,美国财政部不得拨款退还任何因参与2021年1月6日攻击美国国会大厦而被定罪的个人所支付的法庭命令赔偿,包括赔偿、罚款或特别评估,包括任何因此被定罪并随后获得赦免的个人。”
罗斯的立法已获得众议院司法委员会和众议院行政委员会这两个监督相关事务的最高众议院民主党人的支持。
New legislation in House would ban taxpayer money from going to Jan. 6 rioters
February 25, 2026 / 7:00 AM EST / CBS News
Amid a wave of lawsuits filed by pardoned Jan. 6 riot defendants against the federal government, some House Democrats are introducing legislation Wednesday to block any further taxpayer money from being awarded to participants in the Capitol siege, after at least one financial settlement.
The legislation is sponsored by Rep. Deborah Ross, a North Carolina Democrat who raised concerns at a hearing in January about the attempts by pardoned rioters to secure awards or restitution from their cases.
“The pardons have re-traumatized the victims,” Ross said at a hearing last month. Ross also noted that President Trump’s blanket clemency of riot defendants also absolved the attackers from having to pay restitution for the millions of dollars in damages they caused during the Insurrection.
Ross’ new bill in the House would prohibit the distribution of taxpayer money for any “January 6th compensation fund” and ban any further refund of damage payments made by convicted Capitol rioters.
“We now have the Proud Boys trying to take people’s tax dollars and act like they were the victims on Jan. 6, which we know is patently false,” Ross told CBS News.
“We have got to make it very clear that Congress does not think these insurrectionists need to be rewarded for trying to overturn an election and for defacing property and for injuring Capitol police officers,” she said. “It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
Ross’ legislation is similar to separate Senate legislation introduced in January by Sen. Alex Padilla, a California Democrat whose committee has oversight over U.S. Capitol Police and Capitol grounds.
Mark McCloskey, an attorney whose social media page says he is “championing the cause of J6 compensation,” posted on his X feed in August: “To all the J6 political prisoners out there — I’m doing everything I can to [expedite] the establishment of a claims resolution procedure so we can get you back on your feet and get you some real justice.”
“I won’t stop fighting and I will never back down,” he wrote.
The Trump administration has already approved at least one civil settlement in connection with the mob that overran the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. The Justice Department signed off on an approximately $5 million settlement to the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer while she breached a smashed window into the House Speaker’s Lobby.
At a Jan. 6, 2026 hearing held by congressional Democrats, members of Congress and a former Capitol riot prosecutor slammed proposals for Jan. 6 “reparations” for convicted rioters. U.S. Capitol Police officer Winston Pingeon, who responded to the riot, testified that the more than 140 police officers injured in the Capitol siege have not received a special “compensation fund” or reparations for their losses. Pingeon told the panel, “I don’t know of any officer who has received any kind of compensation for what they sacrificed on Jan. 6.”
Over the past year, a series of riot defendants have formally requested taxpayer-funded reimbursements of the court-ordered restitution payments and fines they paid as part of their plea agreements or criminal sentences.
Court filings reviewed by CBS News said total damages eclipsed $3 million. An estimate produced by Congress said only 15% of those damages were actually paid before Mr. Trump issued the pardons.
The legislation specifies, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds shall be disbursed from the United States Treasury to refund any court-ordered compensation, including restitution, fines, or special assessments, paid by any individual convicted for involvement in the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, including any individual so convicted and subsequently pardoned.”
Ross’ legislation has already secured the support of the top House Democrats on the two committees with oversight of the matter, the House Judiciary Committee and the Committee on House Administration.
