Trump commutes 18-year sentence of WA Proud Boy

A Washington man who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy, is out of federal prison. On Monday, President Donald Trump commuted Ethan Nordean’s sentence. Nordean was among the nearly 1,600 people who were pardoned, or had their sentences commuted, for their role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. KUOW's Casey Martin tells us about this development and the reaction to it.
