  • President-elect Donald Trump previewed immigration actions he plans to take in his first days in office and outlined how he expects his Justice Department to handle investigations into his political opponents and the criminal cases against January 6 rioters in his first major television interview since winning November's presidential election.

In an interview with NBC News, former President Donald Trump revealed his plans to issue pardons for individuals convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, as well as for those involved in other high-profile cases related to his administration. Trump indicated that he would consider pardons for a "large portion" of the January 6 defendants, arguing that many were unfairly treated. He also mentioned potential pardons for allies like former advisers Steve Bannon and Paul Manafort, who faced legal consequences stemming from investigations into Russian election interference. Trump's comments underscore his ongoing support for those he believes were targeted by what he describes as politically motivated prosecutions, signaling a potential policy direction should he return to office.
