Trump to Pardon Capitol Rioters, Jail January 6 Committee Members
President-elect Trump intends to swiftly pardon his supporters involved in the January 6th Capitol attack upon assuming office, citing their harsh treatment within the justice system. He will not, however, direct his Attorney General nominee to investigate his political opponents, despite his grievances with the Justice Department and FBI. Trump believes some members of the House January 6th Committee should face jail time for their actions, while asserting that many January 6th defendants were unfairly pressured into guilty pleas. He plans to leave decisions regarding investigations of political adversaries to his appointees, prioritizing the country’s success over retribution.
