Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Nancy Pelosi are criticizing President Donald Trump after he pardoned over 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, many of whom were convicted of misdemeanors like trespassing.
Schiff called Trump’s pardons “obscene” and a “grotesque display” of power, citing violent offenders and a Proud Boys leader among the recipients. Pelosi called the move “an insult to our justice system” and a betrayal of Capitol defenders. Critics noted the irony, pointing to Biden’s past pardons for allies and family, which drew less criticism from them.watch below..
