Former President Donald Trump said Saturday he would consider pardoning defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot if he returns to the White House.
“Another thing we’ll do, and so many people have been asking me about it, if I run and if I win we will treat those people from January 6 fairly,” Trump said during a rally in Conroe, Texas. “And if it requires pardons we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.”
