President-elect Donald Trump reiterated plans in an interview that aired Sunday to pardon those who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as well as his desire to see members of the House select panel that investigated that attack put in jail.
Trump, during an interview with “Meet the Press,” said he is “going to be acting very quickly, first day” to look at pardons for those who attacked the Capitol and disrupted the counting of electoral votes, Trump said.
The comments were some of Trump’s first on pardons following his victory in the 2024 campaign, where he spent months promising retribution against his political foes, repeating false claims about the 2020 election and promising to dole out pardons to Jan. 6 attackers.
