Excerpt: 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.
'These are the hostages,' he said while signing the paperwork in the Oval Office.

As he sat down to sign executive orders, Trump was asked which former president he would call for advice.
He responded that Bill Clinton was a 'very interesting politician' and said he had a 'great political sense.'
Trump said Clinton was 'disrespected' and 'not used properly.'
New presidents can — and often do — issue orders to cancel the orders of their predecessors.
On his first day, Trump rescinded 78 orders and actions signed by Biden. Among Trump's rescissions was a Biden order that canceled some of the orders signed by Trump during his first term.
As the American Bar Association notes, the orders do not require congressional approval and can't be directly overturned by lawmakers. Still, Congress could block an order from being fulfilled by removing funding or creating other hurdles.
