Trump Campaign Contradicts Trump’s Latest Vow To Pardon All Rioters: “It Will Be On Case-By-Case Basis”

NBC reports:

Former President Donald Trump, who is currently facing felony criminal charges in connection with Jan. 6, said that, if elected, he’d “absolutely” consider pardoning every single one of the hundreds of criminals convicted in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol. But Trump’s campaign, in a statement to NBC News, said such pardons would be “on a case-by-case basis,” not the sort of blanket pardon Trump referred to in a recent interview with Time magazine.

That group would include Jan. 6 defendants caught on tape brandishing or using firearms, stun guns, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk ax, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a massive “Trump” billboard, “Trump” flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device during the brutal attack that injured about 140 police officers..

NEW:

Trump told Time he may free every single Jan. 6 rioter if he takes back the White House.

But Trump’s campaign told @NBCNews that pardons would be done on a “case-by-case basis.”
