Four years ago, thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump protested the outcome of the 2020 election. As is routine on Jan. 6, lawmakers were inside getting ready to certify the election.

Since then, more than 1,500 people have been charged with crimes related to their actions that day. Now, come Jan. 20, they expect a pardon.

Criminal defense attorney Dyke Huish, who represents one of the dozens of Southern California defendants, said his client is hopeful about the possibility of a pardon.

Huish doesn’t think there will be a blanket pardon. Instead, he believes pardons will be handled on a case-by-case basis and reviewed by a committee he expects President-elect Trump will appoint.

However, some of the police officers who were on the ground that day are not happy with the potential pardons.
