Jan. 6 rioter Guy Reffitt, the first defendant tried for the Capitol attack, has been ordered to stay away from his adult son — who turned him into federal law enforcement and is now the target of online threats — after being pardoned by President Donald Trump last week, court documents show.

Jackson Reffitt, who is from Texas, has spoken to multiple media outlets this month about being “terrified” of his dad coming home and retaliating against him after he got a pardon from Trump on the president’s first day in office.
