'If I run and if I win we will treat those people from January 6 fairly,' President Trump says during a rally on Saturday. 'And if it requires pardons we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.'
The Department of Justice has said the investigation and prosecution of those involved in the attack will likely be one of the largest investigations in U.S. history"both in terms of the number of defendants prosecuted and the volume of evidence."
Separately, the House established a select committee made up of Democrats and two Republicans last July to investigate the attack, which has been examining any action or inaction by Trump and his allies. The panel, chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has subpoenaed a growing list of Trump allies and former Trump officials.
The former president, who was impeached by the House in the wake of the attack for"incitement of insurrection" but acquitted by the Senate, has been teasing another run for the White House. "Well, certainly it's not likely given the many other qualified candidates that we have that have expressed interest in running," Collins said on ABC's"This Week" on Sunday.
