Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has voiced his apprehension regarding the possibility of President-elect Donald Trump pardoning all individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, especially those who attacked police officers. Senator Graham emphasized that while the power to grant pardons lies with the President, he believes that individuals who assaulted law enforcement officers should be treated differently from others.
On the other hand, newly elected Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, who served on the House January 6 Committee, strongly opposed the idea of pardoning the rioters. Senator Schiff expressed his concern that pardoning individuals who engaged in violent acts against police officers would convey a negative message and undermine the rule of law.
