Washington Week with The Atlantic

Will Trump's Jan. 6 pardons embolden extremist groups?

Season 2025 Episode 4 | 14m 54s

President Trump's most dramatic move of the week took even his allies by surprise, the wholesale pardon of Jan. 6 rioters, including men convicted of felony assaults of police officers and leaders and members of two far-right militias utterly devoted to Trump. The panel discusses the tumultuous first week of Trump’s second term.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
