After Jan. 6 pardons, judges who oversaw cases express frustrations In the days since President Trump’s sweeping clemency of Jan. 6 rioters, the federal courts have been busy processing the dismissals. But the judges who've spent years overseeing the hundreds of trials are not hiding their frustration. Geoff Bennett discussed more with John Jones, a retired federal judge who now serves as the president of Dickinson College. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #capitolpolice #jan6 #january6 #trump #donaldtrump #capitolinsurrection #pardon #trumpadministration #trumpnews #news

When Congress worked Jan. 6, 2021, to certify the vote making Joe Biden president, hundreds of angry supporters of Donald Trump pushed their way into the U.S. Capitol and tried to stop the certification. More than 100 police officers were injured, and the crowd caused nearly $3 million in damage, according to federal authorities. Among the crowd were many people from Kentucky. Some attacked police, while others just took selfies and posted comments on social media. Ultimately, more than two dozen Kentuckians were charged with crimes. But on Jan. 20, as one of the first actions of his second term, Trump issued blanket pardons to those charged in the riot. In all, the pardons cover more than 1,500 defendants. #kentucky #jan6riot #capitolinsurrection #donaldtrump
