It is not clear who he meant by the release of prisoners, because many of those who were convicted by the court of the crime of involvement in this riot have already served their sentences.
According to the latest investigations, nearly 1,200 people have been charged in connection with the attack on the Congress in the United States. Of these, about 700 people have confessed to their crime.
Currently, the people who are in prison for the crime of attacking the Congress are among the defendants who have been sentenced to long prison terms of 18 to 21 years due to their high crime. Apart from Trump’s statements, according to a poll conducted by CBS News, nearly two-thirds of Republicans in the United States support Trump’s proposal to pardon those involved in the January 6 attacks.
Meanwhile, some American politicians have strongly criticized and opposed Trump’s request to Biden, in this regard, former Republican representative “Lizcheny” called Trump’s request “shameful”.
In his election speech on Friday, Biden referred to the defendants as rioters and thugs who were neither patriotic nor looking for a peaceful demonstration. He stated: They were not there to uphold the Constitution; they were there to destroy it.
Trump raises the story of the request for the release of the protesters on January 6, when the two states of Maine and Colorado in the United States have announced that he has no right to participate in the primary elections due to the violation of the third paragraph of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution during the attack on the US Congress.
