The president of the United States, Donald Trump on Monday, announced that he has pardoned all defendants who had been charged for their role in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

He reportedly called on the Justice Department to drop all pending cases against an estimated 1,583 January 6 defendants.

The defendants had left Trump’s rally and descended on the US Capitol, attacking police officers and breaking into the building in an apparent attempt to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election, which was unfolding inside.

In addition to the nearly 1,500 defendants he pardoned, Trump also issued multiple J6 commutations.

Recall that Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term on Monday.
