President Donald Trump has granted pardons to approximately 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot. He also announced several commutations for those who committed violent acts during the event.
Reports indicate that most participants in the January 6 protest and riot at the U.S. Capitol in 2021 are being released from prison tonight, including those who have not yet gone to trial or received sentences.
The sweeping pardons signify the conclusion of one of the most extensive FBI investigations in history.
As The Hill reports:
“What they’ve done to these people is outrageous,” Trump said while signing various orders from the Oval Office, his first time in the White House since he was inaugurated early in the day.
He briefly said Monday night that he would grant roughly 1,500 pardons for rioters charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. There have been 1,583 total defendants charged.
They came just hours after former President Biden in the 11th hour of his presidency issued preemptive pardons for members and staff of the House Jan. 6 committee, which investigated the riot.
Following his Inauguration, the president signed executive orders at the Capitol One Arena that include:
- A freeze on all further regulations
- A freeze on all federal hiring, except for military personnel and certain other categories
- A requirement for all federal employees to return to in-person work full-time
- A directive to all federal agencies and departments to address the cost of living crisis
- A directive for the government to restore freedom of speech and eliminate government censorship
- A directive to end the weaponization of the government against former presidential administrations

No problem with any of this. Keep it rolling.
Mayor of Washington DC. Muriel Bowser will not release J6 prisoners. Trump needs to impeach her!
Throw her in jail for an indefinite time like they did for all the political prisoners of J6.
Thank you, President Trump, for correcting this politically inspired injustice! Those in the DOJ responsible for this mass jailing need you to now turn your attention to them.
When you consider the fact that probably none of it would’ve happened if Pelosi hadn’t 1: decreased the security in the capital, and 2: refused Trump suggestion of the National Guard… Refused by her, and the DC mayor.
It would have happened because the filthy horrid dem freaks determined it was going to happen! LET THE LAWSUITS BEGIN!!!!
