Speaker Johnson Defends Trump's Pardons of 1,500 January 6 Rioters, Citing Belief in Redemption
Jan 22, 2025, 04:04 PM
House Speaker Mike Johnson has defended President Donald Trump's decision to pardon over 1,500 individuals convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Johnson stated that he does not 'second-guess' the president's decision, emphasizing his belief in redemption and second chances. The pardons, issued on Trump's first day of his second term, included those who violently assaulted law enforcement officers during the riot. Johnson's comments were made during a House GOP press conference, where he also criticized former President Joe Biden's pardons of family members, calling them 'disgusting.'
