Jan. 6 pardons spark calls to investigate Biden’s dragnet

President Donald Trump’s pardoning of all Jan. 6 Capitol protesters has prompted demands that he investigate the dragnet used by former President Joe Biden’s FBI and Justice Department to charge over 1,500 people.

“What’s needed next is for the new Department of Justice and congressional leadership to conduct investigations, hold the criminals who perpetrated this injustice accountable, and provide restitution to the victims,” said Matt Braynard, executive director of Look Ahead America, which sought to free rioters and draw attention to Ashli Babbitt, shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
