    Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, has criticized former President Donald Trump's decision to pardon individuals convicted of violent crimes during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Graham stated on NBC News' 'Meet the Press' that pardoning those who assaulted police officers was 'a mistake,' expressing concern that such actions could encourage future violence. He also drew a parallel between Trump's pardons and former President Joe Biden's decision to pardon family members, suggesting that continued abuse of the pardon power might lead to a reevaluation of the president's constitutional authority in this area. Trump, shortly after being sworn into his second term, pardoned approximately 1,500 supporters involved in the Jan. 6 events, including those who committed violent acts against over 140 police officers.
