Trump "most pardons immediately after inauguration" of congressional rioters

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he will pardon most of those involved in the so-called January 6th incident immediately after taking office, who stormed the Capitol in defiance of the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump said in an interview with Time, a weekly magazine, that he would begin pardoning within an hour of his inauguration.

Trump said he would pardon them on a case-by-case basis, but said he thought they had been punished big enough if they were nonviolent.

The January 6th incident was an incident in which some supporters of Trump, who objected to the results of the January 6 presidential election, stormed the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to block the process of certifying the election against President Joe Biden.

At the time, five people were killed and 184 police officers were injured, including a woman shot and killed as they clashed with parliamentary police.

As President Biden recently pardoned his second son Hunter, who was convicted of violating gun laws and tax evasion, critics point out that Trump has lost momentum to criticize even if he pardons officials of the January 6 incident.
