ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — President Donald Trump now claims that the domestic terrorists he pardoned who violently attacked police officers during his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt were actually the victims of that day.
“I pardoned people who were assaulted themselves. They were assaulted by our government,” he said in a half-hour news conference with the reporters traveling with him on his flight to the Super Bowl on Sunday.

“That’s who were assaulted and they were treated unfairly. There’s never been a group of people in this country outside of maybe one instance I can think of, but I won’t get into it, that were treated more horribly than the people of J6,” he continued. “So no, I didn’t assault. They didn’t assault. They were assaulted, and what I did was a great thing for humanity.”
