Democrats move to condemn Trump pardons of violent Jan. 6 defendants

Senate Democrats offered a resolution Monday to condemn President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon Jan. 6 defendants who assaulted Capitol Police officers, saying the move invites future political violence.

All Democrats but one — Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) — signed onto the resolution. His office did not immediately respond to an inquiry.

The one-line resolution indicates that “the Senate disapproves of any pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers.”

Though many Trump allies anticipated that he would not pardon or commute sentences for people convicted of assaulting police on Jan. 6, Trump pardoned or ordered the dismissal of charges for all 1,600 defendants. Among them: defendants who beat police with poles and bats, used tasers and bear spray on officers and hurled objects like fire extinguishers and table legs into police lines.
