A group of Senate Democrats will attempt on Monday to raise the political pressure on Republicans to condemn President Trump's pardon of violent Capitol insurrectionists. CBS News has learned senior Democrats will seek to pass a resolution by unanimous consent that formally denounces the pardons of the rioters who were convicted of assaulting and injuring police on Jan. 6, 2021. In one of Mr. Trump's first executive actions, he pardoned roughly 1,500 people charged — nearly everyone charged, with the seven others having their sentences commuted — in connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, making no distinction for people charged with violent crimes.

Senate Democrats will attempt to formally condemn President Donald Trump’s pardons for those convicted of assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. According to CBS News, nearly every Democrat had signed on to a resolution they’ll attempt to pass Monday, Jan. 27. The resolution states, “Resolved, That the Senate disapproves of any pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers.”

Senate Democrats this week, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., released a resolution condemning President Donald Trump's pardons for thousands of defendants facing or convicted of charges related to the Capitol riot. The resolution, which was signed by all Democrats and independent senators who caucus with Democrats, states that "the Senate disapproves of any pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers." Fetterman, one of the few Senate Democrats to reach out to Trump since his election, was not a signer of the initial version of the resolution but does support the effort, according to a spokesperson. His name was included on the final resolution.
