Trump, surrounded by executive orders he planned to sign Monday evening, also signed an order pardoning approximately 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters.
The order also includes six commutations, he said.
“We hope they come out tonight. Frankly, they’re expecting it,” Trump told reporters.
As of early January, more than 1,580 individuals have been charged criminally in federal court in connection with Jan. 6, with over 1,000 pleading guilty, according to the Department of Justice.
