Should former President Donald Trump return to the White House in 2025, he'll have plenty of targets to whom he can issue pardons over the Jan. 6 riot since all crimes are charged federally in Washington.
Power to grant Pardons for Offenses against the United States, meaning if Trump were reelected, he would have full clearance to grant pardons to anyone federally charged in connection to the riot. The president's power is very broad and extends after the commission of a crime, including to those who have already served their sentences, the only exception to the rule is impeachment.
