A woman in her seventies served two months hard time after being found guilty for rioting on Jan. 6, but she is promising to refuse any pardon from "felon" Donald Trump.

Pam Hemphill, from Boise, Idaho, was once all in on Trump, but she condemned the former and incoming President in an appearance on CNN earlier this year, going as far as to say he is "totally responsible" for what happened that day.

She ultimately admitted she was in a "cult," and backed Vice President Kamala Harris

On Sunday, Hemphill claimed that members of the MAGA movement had called her probation officer to try to get her in trouble. That attempt, she said, "backfired."

"I’m not going to be bullied by MAGA anymore, as those who went as far as calling my Probation Officer trying to get me in trouble backfired on them, thinking I would stop speaking out, just give me more confidence to continue!" she said. "I will refuse a pardon from felon Trump!"

Trump would have been convicted if not elected, DoJ report says

President-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted of illegally trying to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election - which he lost - if he had not successfully been re-elected in 2024, according to the man who led US government investigations into him.

The evidence against Trump was "sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial," Special Counsel Jack Smith wrote in a partially released report.
