NBC News investigative reporter Ken Dilanian was flabbergasted as President Donald Trump's Justice Department moved to eliminate a sentencing memo for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who went to former President Barack Obama's house in 2023 with illegal guns and ammunition.

The rioter, Taylor Taranto, livestreamed video of himself near Obama's house, also creating a false hoax that he was on a "one-way mission" to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and was arrested in the process. He was one of 1,500 people given pardons for his involvement in the storming of the U.S. Capitol — but that pardon did not extend to the livestreaming incidents.

"Investigators said they found two guns, a machete and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in Taranto's van when he was arrested. Court records say Taranto repeatedly said that he was trying to get a 'shot' and that he wanted to get a 'good angle on a shot,'" wrote Dilanian on Wednesday, recounting the case.
