Former President Donald Trump appears to have soured on one of his most ardently oleaginous supporters, South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, after the Palmetto State Republican said pro-Trump rioters who attacked the Capitol on 6 January 2021 should be jailed and not pardoned as the twice-impeached ex-president has suggested.
Mr Trump floated the idea of pardoning accused and convicted 6 January insurrectionists on Saturday during one of his signature political rally speeches in which he vowed to “treat those people from January 6 fairly” if he regains the presidency with a successful 2024 presidential campaign.
