A total of 13 Connecticut residents were arrested in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and some of them may receive a pardon when Donald Trump takes office.
Anthony Vo told The Toronto Sun that he was "pretty much 99% sure" that Trump will pardon him once he takes office on Jan. 20.
The disturbing incident unfolded in front of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial just before 5:30 p.m. – at the same time Trump, 78, was arriving at the Capitol Building.
Although the U.S. flag is at half-staff to mark the death of President Jimmy Carter, 8 Republican-led states will raise flags for Trump's inauguration
"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump," the Louisiana Republican said in a statement. "The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter."
Former President Jimmy Carter died Sunday, Dec. 29, at 100 years old. His death came just over a year after the death of his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.
WASHINGTON — Inside the Capitol, reminders of the violence are increasingly hard to find. Scars on the walls have been repaired. Windows and doors broken by the rioters have been replaced. And there is no plaque, display or remembrance of any kind.
President-elect Donald J. Trump had complained that flags were scheduled to fly at half-staff — a symbol of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter — on the day of his inauguration.
Flags at the U.S. Capitol will fly at full-staff "to celebrate our country coming together" for incoming president Donald Trump's inauguration, House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a post on X on Tuesday.
Trump has complained about the flags being at half-staff "for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President."
Capitol police have identified the 35-year-old man accused of trying to light his spray-painted car on fire near where former President Carter was lying in state.
