Washington Week with The Atlantic

Will Trump's Jan. 6 pardons embolden extremist groups?

Season 2025 Episode 4 | 14m 54s

President Trump's most dramatic move of the week took even his allies by surprise, the wholesale pardon of Jan. 6 rioters, including men convicted of felony assaults of police officers and leaders and members of two far-right militias utterly devoted to Trump. The panel discusses the tumultuous first week of Trump’s second term.
