A federal judge ordered Jan. 6 defendant Taylor Taranto — who was pardoned by former President Trump — to immediately return to his home in Washington state after probation officers reported he was allegedly seen by local police near Rep. Jamie Raskin’s home, prompting heightened security for Raskin. Judge Carl Nichols said he will consider prosecutors’ request to detain Taranto, who must attend a Dec. 10 probation hearing and pledged to drive back by noon Friday, as prosecutors cited mental‑health concerns and alleged supervised‑release violations.
