"Report: Trump's Ability to Pardon Jan 6 Rioters After Potential November Win Questioned"
A new report from Protect Democracy suggests that even if Donald Trump were to win the presidency again, he may not have the power to pardon individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. The report outlines constitutional limitations on the president's pardon power, citing historical and legal precedents. Trump has previously promised to pardon his supporters convicted for their involvement in the riot, but legal experts and activists are concerned about the potential abuse of the pardon authority. The report's author, Grant Tudor, argues that pardoning individuals involved in an insurrection would go against constitutional constraints and historical precedents.
