Supporters of the January 6 rioters are hopeful that Donald Trump will fulfill his pledge to pardon those involved in the Capitol attack once he returns to the White House. Derrick Evans, a former West Virginia legislator who pleaded guilty to charges from the riot, believes Trump will honor his promise. Trump had called rioters “patriots” and “political prisoners” and stated he would consider pardons on a case-by-case basis. While some defendants have requested delays in hearings pending potential clemency, others, including Evans, are asking for broader pardons and even reparations for their time in prison.
