While many convicted in the deadly January 6 riot are already angling for pardons, there's another group of high-profile defendants who could be interested in Trump's leniency.
Trump has already shown willingness to reprieve celebrity defendants, pardoning Lil Wayne over his weapon conviction and commuting Kodak Black's sentence for falsifying records just before leaving office in 2021.
Presidential pardons are overwhelmingly granted for people who ask for them and receive an outpouring of support; Trump granted 237 acts of clemency during his time in the White House, which Pew Research Center notes is on the very low end.
Sure, presidents generally grant pardons as their time in office winds down, but Trump is unpredictable if anything, so there's no reason to think he'd wait.
