Donald Trump spent his first session back in the Oval Office signing executive orders to pardon all January 6 defendants and declare dangerous Mexican drug cartels as 'terrorists' while finding a letter written to him by Joe Biden.
Trump said he was pardoning about 1,500 defendants and issuing six commutations. He also directed the attorney general to seek dismissal of about 450 pending criminal cases against Jan. 6 defendants.
The pardons fulfill Trump's promise to release supporters who tried to help him overturn his election defeat four years ago.
'These are the hostages,' he said while signing the paperwork in the Oval Office.
After hours spent celebrating his new administration, Trump invited the press to his first Oval Office appearance.
Trump found a letter from Biden in the Resolute desk, but only after a journalist reminded him to look for it.
While signing a series of executive orders, a reporter asked Trump if he'd received a letter. Trump said he didn't know and checked the desk drawers, holding up the letter for the cameras.
'Maybe we should all read it together,' Trump said before setting it aside. He said he'll read it himself before sharing it publicly.
