Trump Pardons Violent January 6 Rioter

President Trump issued a controversial pardon to a January 6 defendant who had been convicted of violently attacking a police officer during the Capitol riot. The action drew criticism from Senator Lindsey Graham who called it 'a mistake' that suggests such violence is acceptable.

"Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently I think was a mistake, because it seems to suggest that's an OK thing to do"
