Jackson is interviewed in this one:
Pardoned Jan. 6 rioters return to Capitol on 5th anniversary of insurrection
Excerpt:
Liz Landers:
Guy's arrest and conviction has also caused rifts in his family, including with his son.
Jackson Reffitt, Son of Guy and Nicole Reffitt:
It's destroyed my family in a bunch of different ways.
Liz Landers:
Jackson Reffitt tipped off the FBI about his father's actions and told me, while he doesn't regret that difficult decision:
Jackson Reffitt:
We're scattered and apart and it's been really hard to reconnect over these years.
Liz Landers:
Have you spoken with your father since he was released from prison?
Jackson Reffitt:
I have sent him birthday messages and happy Father's Day, but that's been about it. The only time I have really talked to him was when I called him in prison. And that was very brief. But even then, it's just been scary.
It's not -- I'm not worried that he's going to break down my door or strangle me through the phone. It's just a worry that things aren't ever going to get better at this rate.
Nicole Reffitt:
It's been quite a strain. But like Guy said, we have been able to stay strong and we're able to start rebuilding our relationship with our son. I'm waiting for him to be comfortable to come to holidays and things.
He was definitely -- we thought it was going to happen this year, but he had his nerves and everything about it. But it is a work in progress. I think a lot of families are, but there was a lot of love there. So I know it's going to end up OK.
Liz Landers:
For the Reffitts, today's event was a reminder that many remained sharply divided over the false belief that the 2020 election was stolen, the actions on January 6 and what came after.
[...]
Jackson Reffitt:
It's the washing of everything. It's just completely validating all of these people. I mean, all of these people, they more or less fell for something, a con, if you want to use that word, I would, with no -- nothing in return, no reward.
But these people have been endlessly validated with a pardon. And that validation, they never really received before. Like, imagine the kind of action that a lot of these people might feel now that they have been pardoned.
He's still getting money as of 16 days ago:

The devastating aftermath of loyalty versus law. Witness the emotional price paid when one son tipped off the FBI about his father's actions. Jackson Reffitt stands by his difficult decision, yet admits the family unit is now scattered and apart with reconnection being incredibly hard. Hear the candid exchange about the minimal contact remaining years later—just birthday messages and brief prison calls. A permanent fracture laid bare. #FamilyCost #FBI #Jan6 #Estranged #HardChoices
