Donald Trump announced blanket pardons for around 1,500 individuals convicted of crimes related to the January 6 attack on Congress, including some violent offenders. These pardons fulfill his promise to offer clemency on the first day of his second term and reflect his view of January 6 as a 'day of love.' Trump also ordered the dismissal of pending indictments for individuals connected to the event, framing the past four years' prosecutions as a national injustice. The far-right community welcomed these actions, displaying support in Washington while advocating for further releases.
Trump's full, unconditional pardons of approximately 1,500 individuals related to the January 6 attack represent a significant shift in handling legal actions against his supporters.
By directing the justice department to drop all pending indictments, Trump characterized the prosecution of January 6 participants as a grave injustice perpetrated against the American people.
