His followers begin to leave prison, who four years ago had attacked the United States after the new president granted them a pardon, marking that he intends to use his executive authority aggressively. The pardon he awarded yesterday (20.01,2025) the Republican president to 1,500 defendants caused the anger of MPs who had been in danger during the 6 January 2021 attack, when thousands of Donald Trump fans had invaded the Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from ratifying its defeat, in 2020, by Joe Biden. CORVERSE Stuart Rhodes, the former head of the Oath Keepers militia, whose 18-year sentence of imprisonment was reduced, was released after midnight, in the early morning hours today, in Cumberland, Maryland. Rhodes had not invaded the US Capitol on January 6, but was found guilty of conspiracy to use violence against Congress to prevent ratification of the election. They were also accused of helping to store firearms in a hotel in neighboring Virginia, so that they could be easily transferred to Washington. “Donald Trump announces a Golden Century for people who violate the law and attempt to overthrow the government,” says Democratic leader in the Chuck Schumer Senate. The attack had provoked Trump’s refusal to admit his defeat, resulting in threatening the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in U.S. history. Some 140 policemen were attacked during the attack, and there were also four dead. Among those to be released are leaders of the far-right organization Proud Boys, including some convicted of subversive conspiracy. About 40 men, wearing Proud Boys’ famous, traded insults to protesters on the streets of Washington during Trump’s inauguration yesterday.
