Lawmakers brace for Trump's promised Jan. 6 pardons. Some are urging restraint

0
The fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has a new focus as lawmakers brace for the prospect that Donald Trump may soon pardon many of the more than 1,500 people charged with crimes for their actions related to the riot. Trump said he would issue pardons to Capitol rioters on “Day 1” of his presidency, which begins Jan. 20. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s spoken at length with Trump and is lobbying him to pardon everyone who participated in the siege. Few Republicans are going that far, but many believe it’s appropriate for Trump to look at pardons on a case-by-case basis.
