President-elect Donald Trump has promised to carry out a large-scale pardon operation when he takes office, which could gift clean slates to hundreds of defendants who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

While Trump has been largely mum on the specifics of the plan, his transition team, lawyers involved with the Jan. 6 cases, and legal experts have signaled that they anticipate at least some of the 1,500 defendants who face charges receiving relief.
