Asked about Jan. 6, Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate says he supports Trump's power to pardon

The Republican-backed candidate in Wisconsin’s pivotal state Supreme Court race says he thinks anyone convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers should serve their entire sentence. But Brad Schimel also said he didn't object to President Donald Trump using his power to pardon. Schimel made the comment Monday when asked about Trump's granting of clemency to about 1,500 rioters who were convicted of crimes related to the role in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Later in a written statement, Schimel appeared to disagree with Trump's pardons and said that anyone convicted of assaulting law enforcement should serve their full sentence.
