[00:00:05]>> I do.

[00:00:06]>> Okay. How many convicted felons has Donald Trump pardoned?

[00:00:13]>> Uh, I don't think as many as Joe Biden pardoned.

[00:00:16]>> Okay. And how many is that?

[00:00:17]>> I don't know.

[00:00:18]>> You don't know? Okay. So, >> and and also >> I I'll you answered the question. Thank you for answering the question, Mr. Bigs. Let let me help provide some context.

[00:00:27]>> Right. So, >> I'd love that. Donald Trump pardoned, as you know, on the first day of his second term, over 1500 defendants who were convicted of crimes connected to the events of January 6th. That included a number of convicted felons who had been convicted, by the way, of crimes, including assaulting police officers.

[00:00:49]That does not sound like restoring law and order to me. And I'm sure as you a are aware many of those individuals or certainly some of those individuals who were pardoned for violent offenses by President Trump as you heard earlier today during the course of this committee proceeding were then convicted of committing crimes after they were pardoned by President Trump. So, you could understand why I would be very skeptical of a resolution that says the Trump administration's focus on restoring law and order when the very first action he took as president was to pardon violent felons.

[00:01:31]Seems like that is not restoring law and order to
