‘We have our country back’: convicted January 6 rioters anticipate Trump pardons
The president-elect has vowed to hand out pardons to non-violent offenders convicted for the assault on the US Capitol
Summary
Donald Trump has vowed to pardon non-violent January 6 rioters when he returns to office, sparking hope among his supporters.
Many convicted for their roles in the Capitol attack anticipate their lives will improve once pardoned, viewing the event as government repression rather than an attack on democracy.
