President Trump suggested Tuesday night the Jan. 6 rioters he pardoned could get compensation payments.

Newsmax's Greg Kelly asked Trump during their interviewwhether there would be a "compensation fund" for the roughly 1,500 defendants he issued a sweeping pardon for and the president confirmed "there's talk about that."

Trump maintained during the Newsmax interview that those at the Capitol were there "peacefully and patriotically" and said "a lot of the people that are in the government now talk about" compensating them "because a lot of the people in government really like that group of people."

He added: "They were treated very unfairly."
