Since the riot on Capitol Hill four years ago, President-elect
Donald Trump and his allies have set out to sanitize the events
of that day, changing it from a day of violence into, in Mr.
Trump’s words, a day of love.

As he prepares to take office for his second term, Mr. Trump said
he plans to issue pardons to some of those responsible, throwing
hundreds of criminal cases into doubt.

Alan Feuer, a reporter covering extremism and political violence
for The New York Times, talks to one of those rioters and
explains how the pardons could help rewrite the story of what
happened on Jan. 6.

Guest: Alan Feuer, a reporter covering extremism and political
