Justice Dept. to focus on 'most egregious' Jan. 6 cases until Trump is inaugurated

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Trump is expected to shut down the years-long investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and has said he would "absolutely" pardon some, if not all, of his supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol that day, labeling them "warriors," "unbelievable patriots," political prisoners and "hostages."
41% : Federal officials would have to pick up the pace to get just those cases over the finish line before Trump walks through the lower west tunnel -- where his supporters fought law enforcement in a battle multiple officers described as "medieval" -- to take the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025.
25% : A Trump campaign spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on which rioters Trump would consider pardoning, though the campaign previously said that he would pardon Jan. 6 defendants on a "case-by-case basis when he is back in the White House.
20% : Gonell, who campaigned on behalf of Kamala Harris, said he won't let the story of Jan. 6 fade away, even after Trump takes office.
