WASHINGTON (AP) — As it became clear that Donald Trump was returning to the White House, the Florida man who posed for photos with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern during the Capitol riot pulled out a bottle of wine Trump brand sparkling wine. “You’re in trouble,” he said after taking a sip in one video shared on social networks.

Riots that stormed the Capitol January 6, 2021they are celebrating Trump’s victory and hoping he will follow through on his promise to forgive them on the campaign trail.

Trump did not mention the Jan. 6 accusers, whom he called “hostages” and “patriots,” during his victory speech on Wednesday. But his defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris calls into question the future of the largest prosecution in Justice Department history over the unprecedented attack on a seat of American democracy.

More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes in the riot that left more than 100 police officers injured and sent lawmakers into hiding as they met to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. More than 1,000 defendants pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of charges including misdemeanor battery, assault on police officers, and seditious conspiracy.

Trump’s praise of the Jan. 6 allegations has been a centerpiece of his campaign, with rallies honoring them as heroes, a song collaborated with a riot group in prison. Trump has not explained how he will decide who will be pardoned. But he suggested he would consider granting them even for those accused of assault, as well as the former Proud Boys leader convicted of orchestrating a violent plot in 2020 to keep Trump in power.

During his first term as president, Trump wielded his pardon power in overtly political ways, granting clemency in his final days to a wide range of political allies — including five defendants convicted in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe — as well as celebrities. Republican members of Congress and Jared Kushner’s father, his son-in-law.

Jacob Langa Capitol defendant who has been jailed while awaiting trial in Washington, posted hours after Trump’s victory that he and other “political prisoners” since Jan. 6 are “finally coming home.”

“There will be no bitterness in my heart when I walk out these doors 75 days from now on Inauguration Day,” Lang wrote.

Attorneys for some defendants since Jan. 6 cited Trump’s victory in requests to delay their clients’ sentencing.
