Navy veteran cleared of conspiracy charges in high-profile Jan. 6 case is sentenced to time served

Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer, was sentenced to time served after being acquitted of seditious conspiracy and two other charges in his U.S. Capitol attack trial.
Caldwell spent over 50 days in jail following his 2021 arrest and was cleared of the most serious charges in a high-profile case.
Prosecutors sought four years in prison for Caldwell for deleting messages after the riot, but he received no additional jail time.
His attorney argued that Caldwell's military service and acquittal warranted a sentence of time served, and he should be considered for a pardon by President Trump.
