House Speaker Mike Johnson recently responded to questions from reporters regarding President Donald Trump's pardons for over 1,000 individuals charged in the Capitol attack. Johnson stated that he had not yet reviewed the pardons due to a busy schedule but emphasized that each case would be evaluated individually.
During his meetings with Trump and Congressional GOP leadership, Johnson did not discuss the topic of pardons. He previously mentioned on Meet the Press that peaceful protesters should be pardoned, while violent criminals should not receive pardons.
