Q: Republicans have long said they back the blue. How do you justifiably say that when Trump just pardoned a bunch of violent January 6 rioters who attacked Capitol police? House Speaker #MikeJohnson : So look, everybody can describe this however they want. The president has the pardon and commutation authority. It’s his decision ... we believe in redemption ... we’re not looking backward, we’re looking forward. #polialertcom

Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right extremist group Oath Keepers was convicted of seditious conspiracy in the January 6 riot. He visited Capitol Hill on Wednesday following President Donald Trump's commutation of his 18-year prison sentence.

WATCH: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on the Department of Foreign Affairs' request to Indonesian government for executive clemency to Mary Jane Veloso last year: We haven't really stopped. We continue to ask for commutation and pardon or extradition, but the Indonesian gov't answered us na this is the law, ito ang batas dito sa Indonesia. Kaya kailangan nating ipatupad iyan. They already have given us postponement, but that doesn't mean it is done. I always atleast bring it up, baka sakali magbago. Sa ngayon, ganoon ang proseso natin. We understand and we respect Indonesian law, but nonetheless baka makahanap tayo ng paraan. (Video from Anna Felicia Bajo, GMA Integrated News) Follow @gmanews for more details.

Conservative lawyer George Conway slammed President Donald Trump over his commutation of former Congressman George Santos’ prison sentence, saying, “He’s completely nuts and so is Santos.”

The White House said Monday that President Donald Trump's signed his latest commutation in reaction to a "weaponization of justice" by the Biden administration. On the day before Thanksgiving, Trump commuted the prison sentence of former private equity executive David Gentile, who was only a couple of weeks into his seven-year sentence for defrauding investors. Gentile, the former CEO and co-founder of GPB Capital, was convicted last August on securities and wire fraud charges. Last year, prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York said the charges against Gentile and a co-defendant are "related to a years-long scheme to defraud more than 10,000 investors by misrepresenting the source of funds used to make monthly distribution payments and the amount of revenue generated by three of GPB’s investment funds." PBS News Hour's White House correspondent Liz Landers asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday why Trump commuted Gentile's sentence. "Unlike similar companies, GPB paid regular annualized distributions to its investors," Leavitt said. "In 2015, GPB disclosed to investors the possibility of using investor capital to pay some of these distributions rather than funding them from current operations. Even though this was disclosed to investors, the Biden Department of Justice claimed it was a Ponzi scheme."

George Santos denies being a loyalist, denies being sycophantic, denies even liking the framing of the question, and yet can’t put his finger on why Trump freed him of all of the people begging for a commutation. Listen to the full episode at the LINK in BIO

"I have always rejected any violence against law enforcement [even on January 6th]" Kash Patel calls out the hypocrisy of a Democrat senator's questioning after Joe Biden gives a commutation to a man who murdered two FBI agents.

Communication looks different for all of us. The patience and understanding that we carry out to truly listen to one another is what matters. ♥️ @allthingsfrost From Odin’s Dad Tim: “I’m so proud of how Odin’s commutation skills have grown over the years. We have vowed to always assume competence since a very young age with him. You can tell he thrives from it. Just because someone communicates differently, no one wants to feel like they are being ignored or left out. Odin understands the world around him in a way far more beautifully than we may ever be able to grasp. When we treat him with that same truth he shows us how in tune he actually is. I love to see and hear his voice in every way he chooses to show us. Keep shining king. We love you 🙌♥️🤟”

Charles "Duke" Tanner (@dukegotlife) received a commutation from President Trump in 2020, ending a double life sentence for a nonviolent drug conviction. He came home ready to rebuild. But he had 10 years of federal supervision to serve. Duke dedicated himself to uplifting his community in Gary, Indiana, but he was still tethered to the system. He had to ask permission every time he needed to travel for work or see his son just 90 minutes away. He applied for early termination twice and was denied both times, despite his exemplary record. It took a full Presidential Pardon in May 2025 to finally set him free. It shouldn't take Presidential action to recognize a success story. We need the Safer Supervision Act so courts can reward rehabilitation instead of holding people back with bureaucracy. 🔊 Listen to Duke discuss his journey with John Fredericks on the @jfradioshow and support the #SaferSupervision Act (Link in bio). #SaferSupervisionAct #REFORMAlliance
