 GOP senators say they won’t fight Trump on Jan. 6 pardons
by Alexander Bolton - 12/11/24 6:00 AM ET

Republican senators who witnessed firsthand the Jan. 6, 2021, ransacking of congressional offices now say it’s up to President-elect Trump whether to pardon those protesters convicted of federal crimes.

They say that President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden of all crimes he committed or may have committed over an 11-year span has opened the door for Trump to do what he wants to help supporters who stormed the Capitol four years ago.

And Senate Republicans also have decided to stand down on Trump’s declaration that the members of the House Jan. 6 Committee “should go to jail.”

With a battle brewing over Trump’s controversial Cabinet nominees, Republican senators have by and large decided to keep their powder dry on Jan. 6 pardons.

The Constitution give zero power for Congress to pardon or stop anyone from granting pardon.

It is the sole prerogative of the President.
