Trump teases pardon for January 6 defendants

However, the former president has yet to formally announce a run for the White House in 2024

Former President Donald Trump has said that he would look “very favorably” on pardoning his supporters sentenced for participating in the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. More than 370 rioters have been found guilty, albeit none for the crime of “insurrection.”

Speaking to radio host Wendy Bell on Thursday, Trump said that he is “financially supporting” people involved in the rioters’ legal defense, and slammed the federal prosecutors and judges who have thus far secured guilty verdicts for 353 individuals.

“You know this radical left system, these people are sick, there’s something wrong with them,” Trump said. “You get some of these judges that are so nasty and so angry and so mean.”
