After the L.A. fires, federal and state disaster agencies refused to perform comprehensive soil testing to ensure properties in burn zones are free of fire-related contamination. Testing conducted by The Times reveals elevated levels of arsenic, lead and mercury in postfire soil.

Trump is the third US president to pardon insurrectionists. Pardons by the previous two - Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant in 1873 - were followed by years of violent racism and the rise of the KKK.
