Trump said at a town hall in 2023 that he was "inclined to pardon many of" the defendants who had been convicted. "I can't say for every single one because a couple of them, probably, they got out of control," he said.

He added that a second look wouldn't "necessarily yield a favorable result with regard to each and every defendant, but I think there's going to be a pretty strenuous exercise of the pardon and commutation power to deal with overreaching [by prosecutors]."
