Trump's Team Rules Out Blanket Pardon for January 6th Defendants, Sparking Supporter Backlash
Nov 23, 2024, 04:38 PM
Former President Donald Trump's team has announced that, if re-elected, he plans to review the cases of individuals charged in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot on a case-by-case basis, rather than issuing a blanket pardon on day one of his new administration. This decision, conveyed by a spokesperson for Trump's transition team, has elicited strong reactions from his supporters. Some express feelings of betrayal and are urging Trump to pardon all January 6th defendants unconditionally, emphasizing that the defendants have been subjected to political persecution and unfair trials. Additionally, a recent poll indicates that 64% of Americans oppose Trump's promise to pardon those involved in the January 6th events.
