President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that he has not had any contact with the January 6 rioters who were granted clemency earlier in the week, but he expressed willingness to welcome them to the White House. Trump issued pardons to over 1,000 individuals who were involved in the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. Additionally, he commuted the sentences of 14 individuals affiliated with the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers who were charged with seditious conspiracy.
Following the clemency actions on Monday, Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers whose 18-year sentence was commuted, was seen on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
