(RT) ⸻ Former president Donald Trump has lent his vocals to a song in aid of the supporters who were jailed for participating in the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill. The song, titled 'Justice for All', cuts between Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and a group of inmates calling themselves the 'J6 Prison Choir' singing the Star Spangled Banner. Proceeds from the song will go to the families of those jailed for taking part in the riot, except for those whose loved ones assaulted police officers. Trump has vowed to issue pardons to the rioters if he is elected in 2024. The protest briefly disrupted the certification of Joe Biden's electoral victory the previous November, and one Trump supporter was shot dead by an officer.
Biden's Justice Department has charged more than 950 people in connection with the riot, while around 350 have been sentenced and 190 incarcerated. Trump is running for office again in 2024 and has said that he would consider "full pardons" for the convicted rioters.
