Once back in power, should he win the November presidential election, he will release those imprisoned for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol in 2021. promised yesterday, Monday 11/03/2024, the former President of the USA, Donald Trump
“My first steps as the next president will be to close the borders (…) and release the hostages of January 6 who were unjustly imprisoned!”, the former president wrote last night on the Truth Social social networking site, without giving further details.
In the past, Trump has already addressed the issue of a potential return to the White House, pledging on a television show in December not to act like a dictator, except on his “first day.”
In January, during a campaign event in Iowa, the billionaire had called on Democratic President Joe Biden to “release the hostages”, a term he regularly uses to describe those who have been imprisoned for their participation in the attack on the temple of American democracy. .
The rioters, encouraged by Donald Trump and false allegations of election fraud, had on January 6, 2021 seized the Capitol to try to prevent the transfer of power to Joe Biden.
So far, 1,358 people have been charged, according to the latest Justice Department figures released last week. About 500 people have been sentenced to prison terms.
There are four criminal proceedings against Trump, two of which are because he allegedly tried to sway the results of the 2020 presidential election in his favor after he lost to Joe Biden.
The former president is all but certain to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination ahead of the presidential election after his last challenger, Nikki Haley, withdrew from the race last Wednesday.
