Bill Summary

Condemns President Donald Trump's inexcusable pardons of his coconspirators and criminals convicted of attacking police officers, attacking our Capitol, and attacking our democracy.

AI Summary

This resolution condemns former President Donald Trump's pardons of individuals involved in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, criticizing his actions as an assault on democracy and the rule of law. The resolution highlights that on January 6, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power, resulting in 140 law enforcement officers being injured and four officers dying. It specifically notes that Trump pardoned over 1,500 individuals who were convicted for their roles in the insurrection, including people who assaulted police officers using various weapons, entered the Senate chamber with zip ties, and were members of groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. The resolution also points out that among those pardoned were individuals with prior criminal histories involving serious offenses. The document affirms three key historical facts: Trump lost the 2020 election, his supporters committed crimes during the Capitol attack, and his role in the insurrection and subsequent pardons will be a shameful part of his legacy. Ultimately, the resolution serves as a formal condemnation of Trump's actions, emphasizing the serious breach of democratic norms and the protection of those who engaged in violent and illegal activities.
