“Senate Democrats offered a resolution Monday to condemn President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon Jan. 6 defendants who assaulted Capitol Police officers, saying the move invites future political violence,” Politico reports.
“All Democrats but one — Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) — signed onto the resolution.”
“The one-line resolution indicates that ‘the Senate disapproves of any pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers.'”
