Summary
Following Donald Trump’s election victory, supporters charged in the January 6 Capitol attack are requesting delays in their cases, hoping for pardons after his inauguration.
Attorneys for Christopher Carnell, 21, a nonviolent participant, cited Trump’s campaign promises to pardon January 6 defendants. D.C. District Judge Beryl Howell denied Carnell’s request for a delay.
Trump’s clemency promises and anticipated halting of the January 6 investigation by the Justice Department have raised hopes among defendants for relief under the new administration.
Over 1,500 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol assault, with many facing violent assault charges.

Sorry, delaying cases and sentencing is only for the ruling class.
He’ll get pardoned in a few months anyway.
The only people he pardoned last time were close friends and people that gave him a ton of money.
He didn’t have all three branches of government on his side last time.
The president doesn’t need approval from Congress or Judiciary to issue a pardon. Trump doesn’t care about J6 convictions. They are suckers to him.
Yeah but he also doesn’t give a single fuck about any of these people.
My, aren’t these deck chairs on this, the largest cruise liner ever built, arranged beautifully!
