Trump Pardons Over 1,500 Defendants in January 6 Capitol Attack, Frees Oath Keepers Leader Stewart Rhodes

In a controversial move, former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued pardons to more than 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Among those pardoned are defendants convicted of various charges related to the insurrection.

Trump also commuted the sentence of Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers militia group, who had been convicted of seditious conspiracy. Rhodes was released from prison just hours after Trump signed the executive order.

The decision has drawn sharp criticism from political and legal analysts, with many questioning its implications for accountability and justice. Trump’s actions are expected to reignite intense debates about the handling of the Capitol attack and its aftermath.
