Marco Rubio Declines to Comment on Trump's Pardons of 1,500 Jan. 6 Defendants on January 20, 2025
Jan 21, 2025, 05:57 PM
Marco Rubio, newly confirmed as the U.S. Secretary of State, faced questions from multiple media outlets regarding President Donald Trump's decision to grant full pardons to nearly all of the defendants involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Rubio, who previously condemned the attack, declined to comment on the pardons, emphasizing his focus on foreign policy and stating that he would not engage in domestic political debates. Rubio's refusal to discuss the pardons was consistent across interviews on NBC's 'Today' show, CBS Mornings, and ABC's 'Good Morning America'. Trump signed the executive order pardoning over 1,500 defendants on the night of January 20, 2025.
