Riot revisited: Trump's plan to pardon Jan. 6 defendants

[Washington Examiner] Former President Donald Trump has adopted as a centerpiece of his presidential campaign a promise that he will help defendants involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot if he is elected in November.

Trump has said he will undo the work of President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, which has prosecuted nearly 1,500 people in connection to the riot, by vindicating those who have faced charges.

The former president’s habit of showing such sympathy and support for the defendants has drawn the gamut of reactions: praise, skepticism, fury. Some agree with Trump that the DOJ has unfairly punished the defendants, while others say Trump is disregarding evidence and that his rhetoric on the matter is insulting.

Here is a look at Trump’s promises and how he could execute them.
