In one of his first acts of his second term, President Donald Trump pardoned more than 1,000 January 6 rioters Monday night after his inaugural parade.
President Trump, sitting at his resolute desk in the Oval Office, signed the release of 1,500 prisoners on January 6th. The order requires the Bureau of Prisons to act immediately upon receiving a pardon.
“I hope they come out tonight,” Trump said.
Leading up to his swearing-in, President Trump repeatedly said he would quickly pardon those jailed for the 2021 Capitol riot.
“Tonight, I'm going to sign the J6 hostages, please allow me to release them,” President Trump said at his inaugural parade Monday night. “I'm going to go to the Oval Office and sign pardons for a lot of people.”
More than 1,200 people have been convicted of crimes related to the riots, and only a few hundred are in prison. The Department of Justice (DOJ) pursued prosecution of the January 6 rioters immediately after the ordeal.
