How Trump's blanket clemency for January 6 rioters impacts the PNW
President Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of all of the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot defendants this week. Over 1,500 people were charged with or convicted of crimes, ranging from sedition to felony assaults to misdemeanor charges that amounted to little more than trespassing. The vast majority received pardons. 14 sentences were commuted.
