Trump to Pardon J6ers on Day One, Citing Biden Precedent

Dec 2, 2024, 02:39 AM

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to issue a mass pardon for individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot, known as 'J6ers', on his first day back in office. This move is seen as a response to what supporters describe as politically motivated prosecutions by the Biden administration, including actions by Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. The suggestion for mass pardons has been echoed by various supporters and political commentators, with some advocating for the inclusion of pro-life activists and others targeted by what they perceive as politically motivated legal actions. The discussion around these potential pardons has been fueled by recent actions from the Biden administration, which some interpret as setting a precedent for such pardons, particularly for non-violent J6ers.
