JD Vance outlines what Trump's plan to address 'unfair' Jan 6 prosecutions might entail.

As President-elect Donald Trump's vow to pardon Jan. 6 protesters intensifies, his return to the White House in just eight days is bringing the issue to a head.

JD Vance, Vice President-elect, has stated how the justice system's alleged weaponization against protesters will be taken into account when considering pardons, similar to Trump's criticism.

Vance stated in an exclusive interview with Shannon Bream on Planet Chronicle that if you peacefully protested on January 6th and were treated like a gang member by Merrick Garland's Department of Justice, you should be pardoned.

"We are committed to ensuring equal administration of law and believe that some individuals who were prosecuted after January 6th were treated unfairly."

Trump had previously promised to pardon Jan. 6 protesters on the first day of his new administration, stating that members of the Jan. 6 committee in Congress should be imprisoned, according to an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker last month.

Trump informed Welker that he would examine all aspects and individual cases, but he would act swiftly.

The new administration will confront numerous challenges, including the border crisis, hostages in the Middle East, and domestic disaster relief after being sworn in.

The unclear path forward for Trump's administration is due to the growing rift between Trump and state Democratic officials, as relentless wildfires ravage southern California.

Vance stated that President Trump is dedicated to improving disaster relief efforts, particularly for those affected by hurricanes, floods, and fires in North Carolina, California, and other regions. He emphasized the need for skilled and effective governance to ensure that relief efforts are executed efficiently and effectively.

"While the governor of California has made some questionable decisions over an extended period, it does not mean that criticism is not warranted. Some of these reservoirs have been dry for 15 to 20 years, and fire hydrants are reportedly going dry while firefighters are trying to put out the fires. The lack of competent governance in California is a significant issue, and it may be a contributing factor to the severity of these fires. It is imperative that we improve our governance at both the state and federal levels."

Trump's criticism of Newsom for mismanaging the water supply was addressed by the governor's press office through an X post, which stated that the LADWP explained that due to high water demand, pump stations at lower elevations did not have enough pressure refill tanks at higher elevations, and the ongoing fire hindered the ability of crews to access the pumps.

Despite Trump's claims, there is no water shortage in Southern California at present.
