Corrupted package files after long awaited system update

Hi,
Usually I update my Arch install once a week, but for the past month or so I've been unable to update due to my PC needing a repair (some audio issues, I'm guessing they were caused by acpi_enforce_resources=lax). Now I've finally gotten my PC back, and upon trying to update, I get 3 errors regarding corrupted package files:

error: chrono-date: signature from "Brett Cornwall <brett@i--b.com>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/chrono-date-3.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: spdlog: signature from "Brett Cornwall <brett@i--b.com>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/spdlog-1.9.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: swaybg: signature from "Brett Cornwall <brett@i--b.com>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/swaybg-1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
error installing repo packages

I tried reinstalling them but that didn't work. Any help is much appreciated.

I tried deleting all of the .part files using the find command but it didn't fix anything. I still get the exact same error.
