Trump: My First Act Will Be To Free The J6 “Hostages”

NBC News reports:

Former President Donald Trump said Monday that one of his first acts as president if he wins in November would be to “free” those charged and convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“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 on his Truth Social account. It appeared to be the first time that he has definitively referred to releasing the Jan. 6 defendants as a Day One priority.

Last year, Trump promised that he would pardon a “large portion” of Jan. 6 defendants, adding that he would do it “very early on.” A president has the power to pardon and commute federal sentences upon taking office.
