President-elect Donald Trump has indicated the potential for pardons for supporters imprisoned for assaulting police during the January 6 attack.
During a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, he stated, "We’re looking at it" when pressed about pardons for violent offenses.
Trump emphasized the possibility of major pardons but deflected questions specifically regarding those who attacked officers.
He framed his supporters as victims of the events, mentioning Ashli Babbitt, who was shot during the riot, as the only person who died.
Contrary to Trump's claim, three other individuals connected to the protest also lost their lives during the incident.
