At an event to announce a new AI infrastructure project, President Donald Trump said members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who were among the more than 1,000 people involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol whom the president granted clemency to on Monday, were serving sentences that were “ridiculous and excessive.” He went on to complain about former president Joe Biden’s preemptive pardons, including ones for the members and staff of the House select committee that investigated the insurrection.
