Former President Donald Trump called for the release of those arrested in connection with the Capitol riot, writes businessinsider.

“Start treating the January 6th protestors [sic] fairly. Let them all go now!”, - Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump has previously spoken about what he perceives as the “unfair” treatment of those jailed and has repeatedly suggested that he would pardon them if re-elected.

Earlier this year, Trump revealed that he is “financially supporting” some January 6 defendants.

More than 900 people have so far been charged in connection with the insurrection on January 6, 2021, during which a pro-Trump mob stormed inside the Capitol building in a bid to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory.

The former president made the comment amid a lengthy statement about his former advisor Tom Barrack being acquitted on charges of lobbying for a foreign government.

Trump said that the verdict “greatly set the Radical Left back” and listed various examples of what he framed as right-wing injustices.
