Trump appears to be keeping his claim that he will pardon those responsible for the J6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to CNN, the pardons are expected to be sweeping particularly for those that committed serious offences on the day of the attacks.
CNN notes that Trump’s DOJ is also set to ask the court to dismiss the case(s) against those that haven’t gone to a full trial yet.
