Donald Trump has reiterated his plan to pardon individuals convicted for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, stating he would act on Day 1 of his presidency. Trump claims the rioters have suffered long and hard, although he noted exceptions for radical individuals. Trump's promise to pardon Jan. 6 rioters looms over Monday's presidential election certification, the first since his supporters disrupted the 2021 certification of his loss to Joe Biden. Over 1,250 individuals have been convicted or pleaded guilty for Jan. 6 offenses, with more than 650 sentences ranging from days to 22 years.
