The newly sworn in U.S. President Donald Trump defended his decision to grant clemency to
00:07
people convicted of assaulting police officers during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.
00:12
He used his first hours back in the Oval Office to erase the records of more than 200 people
00:18
who pled guilty to assaulting officers at the Capitol four years ago and freed around
00:23
1,500 people convicted of trying to overthrow the government.
00:27
If you look at the American public, the American public is tired of it. Take a look at the
00:31
election. Just look at the numbers on the election. We won this election in a landslide
00:37
because the American public is tired of people like you that are just one-sided, horrible
00:43
people in terms of crime. You don't talk about all the people that have been killed.
00:48
The new U.S. president said the sentences handed down were ridiculous and excessive
00:53
and described the rioters as people who actually love our country.
00:57
Trump also suggested there could be a place in U.S. politics for the far-right Proud Boys
01:01
and Oathkeeper groups who organized and rallied supporters to violence in the chaos that unraveled
01:07
on the 6th of January.
