Democratic Senator John Fetterman was the only member of his party in the Senate who refused to sign a resolution that officially condemns President Donald Trump's decision to pardon Jan. 6 defendants who assaulted Capitol Police Officers, saying the move invites future political violence. His office did not immediately comment on the matter.

The one-line resolution indicates that the "Senate disapproves of any pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers."
