Senator Sanders urges preemptive pardons for Jan. 6 committee members amid Trump's threats.

Senator Bernie Sanders urged President Joe Biden to consider preemptive pardons for members of the House January 6 Committee, responding to former President Donald Trump's threat to jail them, which Sanders called "authoritarian." Over 1,500 individuals have been charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, with over 1,200 convicted or pleading guilty. Meanwhile, Senator Amy Klobuchar calls for reforming the presidential pardon process, suggesting an outside board to review petitions more transparently.
