Two federal judges Thursday postponed trials for individuals accused of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, citing President-elect Donald Trump’s impending inauguration and his promise to pardon many charged in connection with the attack.

The delays mark the first time federal judges have granted such postponements based on defendants’ expectations of clemency from the incoming administration. Several defendants have already filed updates in their cases, citing Trump’s presidential victory as a reason to delay further proceedings.
