Former Richard Nixon White House Counsel John Dean criticised Donald Trump for suggesting that the 6 January insurrectionists should receive pardons.
“If I run and if I win,” Mr Trump said on Saturday during a rally in Conroe, Texas, referring to a possible 2024 presidential campaign, “we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly”.
