Former President Donald Trump said during his CNN town hall event Wednesday that he would likely pardon a “large portion” of those serving prison sentences for the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot if elected president.
Wayne Beyer, a retired attorney from New Hampshire, asked Trump, “Will you pardon, then, January 6 rioters who were convicted of federal offenses?”
“I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for every single one because a couple of them probably they got out of control,” Trump said.
