Donald Trump says he would pardon Jan 6 rioters if he runs and wins
Former US President Donald Trump said on Saturday if he ran for the president and won in 2024, he would forgive people charged with a crime in connection with the attacks of 6 Jan which turned off by his supporters at the US Capitol.
Trump, who has not said whether he will run for the President again after his defeat by Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election, speaks at a rally in Conroe, Texas.
“Another thing we will do, and many people have asked me about it, if I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly,” Trump said to clap. “We will treat them fairly. And if it needs forgiveness, we will give them forgiveness. Because they are treated very unfairly.”
Thousands of Trump supporters invaded the Capitol on January 6, 2021, the worst attack at the Congress since the War of 1812. Triggered by False Trump claims that the November 2020 election defeat was the result of fraud, the attackers tried to stop the Congress from certification. Biden’s victory.
A police officer who responded to the scene died the day after the attack, while four other people who guarded the Capitol died later by committing suicide. About 140 police officers were injured during the attack for hours. Four riots also died. More than 700 people were accused of joining the attack.
