I've never ever asked for a pardon for myself': Gohmert denies claims he requested pardon from Trump
TYLER, Texas (KETK)- U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, told KETK News that he did not request a pardon from President Donald Trump for himself after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.
“I’ve never ever asked for a pardon for myself,” said Gohmert. “When it comes to January 6 that never crossed my mind because I did nothing wrong. The only thing I did on January 6 was what 11 Democrats had done on January 6 of 2017 and that is object to (the electoral college count).
The U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot said during a Thursday hearing that Gohmert was one of the members of Congress that asked for a pardon after the storm of the Capitol building, according to a report by The Texas Tribune.
Gomert is also Chairman for the Criminal Justice for Warriors Caucus. He said there are current and former military members who have been “unjustly treated,” and he requested two pardons from President Trump for other individuals.
