Trump expected to grant clemency to over 1,000 J6 defendants: report

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to grant clemency to over 1,000 of those convicted on charges related to January 6, 2021. Four years after that day, the certification of the election of Trump will be taking place on Monday.

According to Bloomberg, there is a high expectation that Trump will grant clemency to over 1,000 people who have been convicted. During his Time Magazine interview last year, the president-elect, when he was asked about the pardon, said "I'm going to do case-by-case, and if they were non-violent, I think they've been greatly punished."

"And the answer is I will be doing that, yeah, I'm going to look if there's some that really were out of control," Trump added at the time. Despite heavy winter weather in Washington DC, the certification of the election has for the first time been designated as a “national special security event" that will be overseen by the Secret Service.
