Trump’s January 6th Pardons: A Crisis for the Rule of Law? | Inside America

In this episode of Inside America, Amanda Walker investigates one of the most controversial moves of Donald Trump's presidency—his sweeping pardons for those convicted in connection to the January 6th Capitol riot. We hear from a pardoned rioter who believes he was a "political prisoner," while another, Pamela Hemphill, rejects the pardon, insisting that justice must stand. With over 1,500 people charged and many convicted of violent crimes, what does this mass clemency mean for America’s justice system? Former federal prosecutor Elise Adamson and Praveen Hernandez of the Constitutional Accountability Center join us to analyse the broader implications. Does this decision embolden extremists? And is the rule of law in jeopardy?
