The fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has a new focus as lawmakers brace for the prospect that President-elect Donald Trump may soon pardon many of the more than 1,500 people charged with crimes related to the riot.

Trump said he would issue pardons to rioters on “Day 1” of his presidency, which begins Jan. 20 .

House Democrats say pardons could have far-reaching consequences for rule of law and security.

Members of the extremist Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other crimes in relation to the insurrection.

Rep. Jamie Raskin , D-Md., who served as lead impeachment manager during Trump ’s second impeachment trial, said people should demand contrition and repentance from each of those pardoned.
