President Trump on Monday gave a “full pardon” to more than 1,500 political prisoners involved in the Jan. 6 riot.
Earlier in the day, Trump told the crowd at Capitol One Arena that he planned to “free our great hostages,” referring to the Jan. 6 inmates.
“As soon as I leave, I’m going to go to the Oval Office and we’re going to sign pardons to a lot of people, a lot of people,” Trump continued.
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was convicted of an insidious conspiracy, is currently being prosecuted for release from FCI Pollock, a medium-security federal prison in Louisiana, NBC News reports. Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison after his conviction.
“He’s being worked out,” said his attorney, Nayib Hasssan. “We don’t know what kind of pardon he’ll get.”
