Daniel Ball was pardoned last month for his role in the Capitol attack.

Ball was still facing a weapons charge for illegal possession of a gun and ammunition seized from his home in 2023 .

Ball 's supporters argued the gun case should be dropped because the firearm was only discovered as part of the FBI 's probe into Ball 's Jan. 6 case.
