If elected president in November, Donald Trump would “free” potentially thousands of Jan. 6 rioters for their role in the deadly assault on the US Capitol, which left five people dead and more than 100 law enforcement officers injured. “My first acts as your next President will be to Close the Border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!” Trump wrote Monday on his Truth Social website. Trump, who helped incite the attack with his lies about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, has repeatedly downplayed the events of Jan. 6 and claimed those charged with crimes for their role in the attack are being unjustly imprisoned. More than 1,300 people have been charged with various crimes related to the insurrection, and about 500 people have been sentenced to prison. #jan6 #jan6rioters #closetheborder #border #trump #news
