Trump defends pardons of Capitol riot offenderspublished at 02:52 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January
During a press conference on Tuesday announcing the AI investment, reporters repeatedly asked Trump about his sweeping pardons for the roughly 1,500 people charged in connection with the US Capitol riot in January 2021.
"Aren't you sending the message that assaulting officers is okay", one reporter asked, referring to those who have been pardoned who were convicted for assaulting Capitol police.
Trump said that those people "spent years in jail" while "murderers don't even go to jail in this country".
He then defended his support of police by saying he was freeing two police officers from jail who had been arrested for "going after a criminal".

How did Donald Trump's first full day back in the Oval Office play out? It certainly was busy - here's a catch up of the key moments from Day One:
- The key announcement of the day was a private sector investment in AI to the tune of $500bn over five years from tech giants Open AI, Softbank and Oracle
- One of the faces of the 6 January riot, QAnon 'shaman' Jacob Chansley announced he was off to buy guns after receiving his presidential pardon. Also pardoned was dark web marketplace Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht
- Trump, his family and some high-ranking members of the new government attended a multi-faith service, during which the reverend asked Trump to "have mercy" on LGBT+ people and immigrants - Trump later told reporters he didn't think it was a very good service
- Trump also rescinded guidelines that would have prevented schools or churches from being targeted in immigration raids, and reinstated the "Remain in Mexico" policy that kept asylum seekers out of the country while applications are processed
- Eighteen states lodged lawsuits against the executive order signed yesterday that revoked birthright citizenship
- A federal judge ordered a hearing over the closure of a key app used by migrants, including to request asylum appointments
