Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the response to Trump pardoning those convicted on January 6th

There's outrage over Donald Trump's decision to release convicted Capitol rioters from prison.   The new President has signed off a flurry of executive orders following his inauguration, many sparking national and global concern.  Trump's issued pardons and commutations to more than a thousand felons involved in the attacks to disrupt the transfer of power on January 6th, 2021.   US correspondent Richard Arnold told Ryan Bridge that includes those convicted of assaulting police officers, many of whom are feeling betrayed.   He says Trump's taken to calling those tried and convicted of crimes, 'hostages', and has often played a recording of them singing The Stars and Stripes Forever from prison.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
