President Trump was re elected. And with the power under the Constitution to pardon those who committed crime. On his first day in office, in his second term, President Trump gave a full and unconditional pardon to every one of the convicted demonstrators who stormed this building. If you remember the scenes afterwards, it wasn't just an orderly procession of people visiting this building. They crashed through doors, they broke windows, they did their darndest to cause as much damage as possible. (06:44–06:54)
