Nearly 500 people have been sentenced to incarceration over the Jan. 6 riot, and prosecutors have secured more than 950 convictions.
Former President Donald Trump said Monday that one of his first acts as president if he wins in November would be to “free” those charged and convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“My first acts as your next President will be to Close the Border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
It appeared to be the first time that he has definitively referred to releasing the Jan. 6 defendants as a Day One priority.
A spokesperson for President Joe Biden’s campaign, Sarafina Chitika, said in a statement in response to Trump’s comments that the former president “has shown he’ll do whatever it takes to hold on to power — including excusing and encouraging political violence.”
He will regret that once he gets to the second paper he would have to sign. His wittle hands will start to hurt. If he doesn’t flush the papers first.
Or eat them
Remember when he complained about the plumbing? I guess the White House toilets don’t flush documents well enough.
