Among the 1,500 people Donald Trump granted clemency over the January 6 insurrection, two stand out: Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes, who were serving long sentences for their key roles in plotting the storming of the Capitol.
As one of his first acts in office, Trump pardoned Tarrio and commuted the sentence of Rhodes, in a statement of intent from a president who has insisted the violent siege of the seat of government, which is linked to nine deaths, was a “day of love”.
