“I hope they will be released today, they are waiting for it. About 1,500 people,” Trump said.
Journalists of the American media later clarified that Trump had slandered himself by naming this figure – in reality, there were about 1,600 pardoned.
Trump also commuted the sentences of 14 members of the far-right groups Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, who were convicted of inciting rebellion and participating in the planning of the attack.
A lawyer for one of the leaders of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, who is serving the longest term at 22 years, told CBS News that his client is expected to be released soon.
The decree also requires the US attorney general to close about 300 cases that are still pending in court.

Before arriving at the White House, Trump again addressed supporters at the Capital One Arena complex, where he also demonstratively signed about 10 executive orders, including re-exiting the United States from the Paris climate agreement and repealing 78 executive orders and executive orders from his predecessor Joe Biden.
“Can you imagine Biden doing that? I don’t think so,” Trump said to cheers from the audience.
