One of the first and most controversial things that Donald Trump has done since returning to the presidency has been to pardon the participants of the notorious January 6th Capitol attack of 2021; even the ones who attacked the police.

Piers Morgan also speaks to historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson and formerly imprisoned Democrat Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who was freed by Trump.
