Trump issued immediate pardons to all but 14 people convicted of Jan. 6 riot offenses and ordered prosecutors to drop charges against any other defendantsโa sweeping and dramatic move that could wipe away criminal charges for over 1,500 people charged or convicted with everything from trespassing at the Capitol to assaulting police.
The other 14 convicted defendants were issued commutations to time served, meaning theyโll be released from prison, including Oath Keepers founder Steward Rhodes, who was sentenced to 18 years for seditious conspiracy.
The pardons and commutations will take immediate effect, with Trump saying: โWe hope they come out tonight.โ
