The Justice Department plans to focus on arresting the "most egregious" Jan. 6 rioters in the remaining 72 days before President-elect Donald Trump is back in the White House .

Trump has said he would “absolutely“ pardon some, if not all, of his supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol that day .

A Trump campaign spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on which rioters Trump would consider pardoning.

Former Capitol Police Sgt . Aquilino Gonell says he won't let the story of Jan. 6 fade away, even after Trump takes office.

"The evidence is overwhelming, and the testimony of the officers was overwhelming," he said.

Gonell , an immigrant from the Dominican Republican and military veteran, continues to attend sentencing hearings for the criminals who assaulted him.
