Nearly 1600 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by First Felon Donald Trump. More than 200 violent offenders released from prison.

Headline: ABC News, 1/21/2025
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson tried to split the difference, insisting the pardons were “absolutely justified” while also saying he didn’t want pardons for “violent actors.”
“I think they were absolutely justified,” he said. “Again, I don't know all the cases. I certainly don't want to pardon any violent actors, but there's a real miscarriage of justice, so I’m totally supportive.”
When I pointed out Trump had pardoned violent offenders, Johnson said, "I haven't seen the details, but I think a lot of those pardons are definitely well deserved.” emphasis added]
