In a recent interview, VP-elect JD Vance clarified that only those who peacefully protested on January 6 should receive pardons, diverging from President-elect Trump's broader pardon plans. Vance emphasized maintaining equal justice, acknowledging a 'gray area' in the context of violence during the riot. Trump intends to act quickly on pardons, possibly including some violent offenders, stating many have faced harsh prosecutions. Vance reassured that each case would be reviewed on an individual basis, indicating he and Trump are committed to addressing perceived unjust convictions.
