Trump Reiterates Promise to Pardon Jan. 6 Rioters if Re-elected

The former president's comments at a recent journalism conference underscore his stance on political violence and law enforcement.

Trump stated he would 'absolutely' pardon Jan. 6 rioters if they are 'innocent,' despite their convictions.
He compared Jan. 6 to recent protests, falsely claiming the latter were more violent.
Trump's remarks included criticism of the justice system and law enforcement's handling of Jan. 6.
More than 1,400 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack, with over 1,000 convictions.
Trump's stance is seen as a significant departure from traditional views on law and order.
