President-elect Donald Trump Told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday that he wanted to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters on the first day of his administration and said people on the Jan. 6 committee in Congress belonged in jail.
“I’m going to look at everything. We’ll look at individual cases,” Trump told Welker. “But I’m going to be acting very quickly.”
Trump said while he was campaigning that he planned to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters. Welker followed up and asked how quickly he planned to act on it.
“First day, I’m looking first day. These people have been there — how long is it? Three, four years,” Trump said. “They’ve been in there for years. And they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”
Welker also asked about President Biden considering issuing preemptive pardons to some of Trump’s opponents, such as Liz Cheney or Sen.-elect Adam Schiff.
For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump told Welker.
Welker asked if he would direct his FBI director to send anyone on the Jan.6 committee, such as former Sen. Liz Cheney, to jail.
“No, not at all. I think that they’ll have to look at that, but I’m not going to — I’m going to focus on drill, baby, drill,” Trump responded.
The New York Times editorial board warned that President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, would provide cover for Trump to pardon the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters.
