New president Donald Trump’s move to pardon more than 1,500 people convicted over their role in the attempted insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 2021 reportedly led to a scuffle outside of a Washington DC prison housing the inmates on Monday night.
Swiftly following his inauguration ceremony at the Capitol rotunda yesterday, which saw the billionaire real estate mogul sworn-in as America’s 47th commander-in-chief and return to the White House after a four year absence, Trump signed off on a slew of executive orders, covering everything from immigration to climate and trans rights.
