Trump Pardons 1,500 Jan. 6 Defendants Including Enrique Tarrio of Proud Boys on Inauguration Day
Jan 21, 2025, 01:35 AM
President Donald Trump has issued pardons for nearly all defendants involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, totaling approximately 1,500 individuals. This action, taken on his inauguration day, fulfills a promise he made to pardon those he referred to as 'hostages.' Among those pardoned is Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, who was facing a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized the pardons, calling them 'shameful' and an 'outrageous insult to our justice system.' She emphasized the 'courage' of law enforcement officers who were injured during the riot, stating that Trump's decision prioritizes the 'abandonment and betrayal' of these officers who protected the Capitol and democracy.
