Donald Trump confirmed his plans to pardon supporters who were involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, during a Sunday interview on “Meet the Press.”
In what were his most definitive comments on potential legal relief for the pro-Trump rioters, the president-elect told host Kristen Welker that pardoning the insurrectionists was at the top of his to-do list when he steps into office for his second term.
“I’m going to be acting very quickly. ... First day,” Trump said. “They’ve been in there for years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”
The incoming Republican did leave room for “some exceptions” to his sweeping legal plans, claiming he wouldn’t issue pardons “if somebody was radical, crazy.”
