President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after agreeing with a suggestion that January 6 rioters who received pardons could be financially compensated, leaving many social media users appalled.
On January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, causing an estimated $2.7 billion in damages and injuring about 140 police officers, Axios reported. Many of those involved faced criminal charges, and federal judges ordered hundreds of defendants to pay restitution for damages.
