President Donald Trump on Monday said he was pardoning about 1,500 of his supporters who have been charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 , U.S. Capitol attack.

The pardons were expected after Trump ’s yearslong campaign to rewrite the history of the attack that left more than 100 police officers injured and threatened the peaceful transfer of power.

The scope of the clemency still comes as a massive blow to the Justice Department's effort to hold participants accountable.
