“The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol released on Tuesday 18 additional transcripts that provided more details about how former President Donald Trump considered ‘blanket pardons’ for those charged in connection with the Capitol riot, and how several of his top political allies pushed unsuccessfully to be included in such pardons,” the New York Times reports.
“The transcripts, which come from the committee’s trove of hundreds of interviews, build on a growing body of evidence about the extent to which many in Mr. Trump’s orbit, including rioters, White House staffers, Republican members of Congress and some of the president’s own lawyers were seeking pardons after the events of Jan. 6, 2021.”
