In an article from AOL Finance, former President Donald Trump suggested that the Proud Boys, a far-right group, could potentially receive pardons if he were to return to office. This statement was made during an interview with NBC News, where Trump was asked about his stance on the group's members who have been convicted of seditious conspiracy related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

This comment has reignited discussions about Trump's relationship with extremist groups and his views on the legal consequences faced by participants of the Capitol riot.
