Trump Mentions ‘Jail’ For J6 Committee as Biden Considers Preemptive Pardons

In his first sit-down interview since winning the presidential election, Donald Trump told NBC News’ Meet the Press that he remains committed to pardoning individuals convicted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

In addition, the president-elect also stated that members of the Democrat-dominated House committee that claimed to investigate the incident “should go to jail.”

“Honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump told NBC News’ Kristen Welker. “So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail?” Welker asked.

“For what they did,” Trump responded.

However, Trump made it clear that he would not direct his FBI director or attorney general to do so, adding, “they’ll have to look at that, but I’m not going to — I’m going to focus on drill, baby, drill. I’m going to look at everything. We’re going to look at individual cases.”

The incoming commander-in-chief also intimated that he may try and take executive action to end so-called “birthright citizenship” — meaning the children of people in the country illegally automatically become American citizens when

they’re born in the U.S., though he’ll likely face a legal challenge what will question the constitutionality of such an order.
