Trump Pledged to Pardon Jan. 6 Rioters

He faces pressure to name names

Geri Perna was dining on the Mar-a-Lago patio last year with a few other family members of people who were charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol when Donald Trump visited with them and talked about pardons if he returns to the White House.

Perna started tearing up, she recalled in an interview. Trump placed an arm around her and asked why she was crying, she said.

"The people here all have hope because some day their January 6er is coming home," she said she told him. "Our January 6er is never coming home."
