First pardoned Jan. 6 rioters released in DC

Two Pennsylvania brothers arrested for their role in the riots were released.

President Donald Trump returned from a campaign-style rally at a Washington, D.C., arena to the White House to sign more executive orders, including a sweeping one that pardoned those convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Earlier after taking the oath of office and events at the Capitol, Trump spoke to a roaring crowd at Capital One Arena, where he also signed several executive orders.

After he is through signing the orders, Trump will attend inaugural balls tonight.

There is a feed of Trump's movements being streamed live on the Jumbotrons as well. As the president-elect departed St. John's church, the crowd here burst into applause and chanted "USA."

There were also chants of "JD-48" as they watched the vice president-elect and his wife arrived at the White House.

ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott spoke to one couple from Alabama who arrived at 2:30 a.m. and said there were still “thousands” of people ahead of them.

EMS first responders from Butler, Pennsylvania -- the site of that first assassination attempt -- are expected to be present as well.
