The Trump-Vance Administration is trying to
Pardon people held responsible for the January 6th Insurrection
Let others know:
This order either pardons or commutes the sentences of any person who was convicted of an offense related to the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Granting Pardons and Commutation of Sentences for Certain Offenses Relating to the Events at or Near the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021
January 20, 2025
By pardoning or commuting the sentences of all those convicted of participating in January 6th Insurrection, Donald Trump made it clear to the nation that no one responsible for the violence committed that day would be held accountable. This includes those who were convicted of assaulting police officers and those convicted of seditious conspiracy. This executive order risks further violent outbursts from the President's supporters in the future, with or without his direction.
