Minority Leader Mitch McConnell countered former President on Tuesday saying those charged with crimes for the January 6 Capitol attack shouldn't have their sentences shortened. 'What we saw here on January the 6th was an effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the other, which had never happened before in our country,' McConnell said at a press conference with leaders. 'My view is I would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any of the people who pleaded guilty to crimes.' At his rally on Saturday, Trump dangled pardons for January 6 defendants. 'If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly,' he told the crowd.
