President-elect Donald Trump defended his pardons for Capitol rioters and showcased his openness to extremist groups like the Proud Boys entering politics.

Donald Trump reportedly steamrolled over his team with last-minute blanket pardon for those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, riots, an insider said.

The move follows the dismissal of Coast Guard Commandant Linda Lee Fagan, the first military officer fired under Trump.
