WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump, who is currently facing felony criminal charges in connection with Jan. 6, said that, if elected, he'd 'absolutely' consider pardoning every single one of the hundreds of criminals convicted in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
6 rioters sentenced to terms of incarceration is about eight months, according to an analysis by NBC News, while hundreds of additional rioters have received only probationary sentences. Trump’s position has evolved since he began floating the possibility of pardons in January 2022, at a time when 700 people had been charged, the longest sentence given to a Jan. 6 rioter was five years, and no Jan. 6 defendants had actually gone to trial.
