Judges allow some Capitol riot defendants to return to DC for Donald Trump’s inauguration
Pardon me: Donald Trump dangles pardons in front of Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

trump pardon
What's past is prologue.

Thousands of Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol after he lost the 2020 presidential election. Four years later, some of them are allowed to return to the nation’s capital so they can celebrate Trump’s return to the White House.

At least 20 defendants charged with or convicted of joining the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol have asked federal judges for permission to attend President-elect Trump’s second inauguration Monday in Washington, D.C., according to an Associated Press review of court records.

The majority can go. Several others cannot.

In most cases, Justice Department prosecutors have argued that Capitol riot defendants shouldn’t be able to return to the scene of their crimes while they’re under the court’s supervision.

“What’s past is prologue, and the defendants could easily find themselves in another situation where they engage in mob violence,” a prosecutor wrote in opposing a New York couple’s travel request.

At least 11 defendants have received the court’s permission to attend the inauguration, a day when Trump may issue mass pardons to Capitol rioters. Judges have denied requests made by at least seven others.

    Good Evening America,
    STAND BY FOR NEWS:
    These Judges dont have the authority to do that. While I’m glad for those who will get to attend. These Dook 4 Brains Leftist Judges are acting just like HAMAS, now that Trump won.
    These Judges are just trying to save themselves just like HAMAS now. Funny how all the “Worlds Bad Actors” are lineing up to kiss Trump’s booty now.
    Thank you, America,
    Earl Pitts American
