Multiple outlets report that the Trump administration has placed a man convicted for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol into a job at the Pentagon. According to the reports, the position is in the Pentagon’s policy office. The Washington Times cites officials and internal records in saying the hiring decision is tied to a person who was convicted and jailed for actions during the Capitol riot. ABC Australia and The Independent describe the same basic claim: that the administration hires the convicted rioter for a national security-related role within the Pentagon’s policy work. The Winnipeg Free Press repeats the same information but provides no additional details in the supplied text. Across the sources, the accounts focus on the reported placement of a convicted Jan. 6 offender at the Pentagon and the office where the person works, without providing further specifics such as the individual’s identity, the job title, or the timeline of the hire. The reports attribute the information to government sources and records rather than first-hand accounts.
