President-elect Donald Trump laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and then held a "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington on Sunday ahead of Monday's swearing-in ceremony.
Trump's inauguration has been moved indoors because of frigid temperatures expected in the nation's capital on Monday. Trump said he'll be sworn in and deliver his inauguration address inside the Capitol Rotunda.
Trump's team has draft list of potential Jan. 6 pardons
Trump's team has drafted a list of potential pardons for Jan. 6 defendants to issue on Day 1, sources familiar with the matter say.
The pardons could come very soon after Trump is sworn in. One option that has been discussed is to issue these pardons inside the Capitol, a move that carries some ominous symbolism given the assaults on officers that day by many rioters seeking to overturn the 2020 election.
The plan for these pardons is still very fluid, as Trump himself indicated to ABC News’ Rachel Scott on Saturday, and the extent of the list is not clear.
Trump wouldn't commit to pardons on Day 1, but told Scott they would be coming "very shortly."
