Trump raises possibility of pardons for Jan. 6 defendants, slams Biden on border 

Former President Donald Trump vowed Saturday night to ensure fairness for the Jan. 6 defendants if he is voted back into office, including possible pardons for some.

“If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly,” Trump told a raucous rally in Conroe, Tex.

"And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons," he added. "Because they are being treated so unfairly."

Trump also dismissed Democrats in Washington as “raving lunatics”  who put “America last” and suggested President Biden was more concerned about protecting Ukraine’s border from Russia than  America’s border from illegal migrants. 

“The first duty of the American president is to defend the American border,” Trump said.

“Before our leaders talk about invasions of other countries they need to stop the invasion of this country,” he added.
