Former President Donald Trump will soon host a gala at his golf club in New Jersey to “honor and celebrate” the defendants charged for their involvement in the Capitol riot.

A source familiar with the matter told Mediaite Trump will not be attending the gala.

The “J6 Awards Gala” will take place Sept. 5 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. It will honor the 20 defendants who contributed to Trump’s song “Justice For All” — which features recordings of the prisoners singing the national anthem while the former president recites the Pledge of Allegiance.

“Join us for an unforgettable evening as we honor and celebrate the twenty defendants who contributed to the powerful ‘Justice For All’ song, which quickly went Platinum on the Billboard Charts upon its release on March 3, 2023,” the event page reads. “This gala also serves as a crucial fundraiser to provide much-needed assistance to the January 6th defendants who continue to face significant challenges.”

On the flyer, Trump is listed as one of three guest speakers at the event. The other two are Rudy Giuliani and Anthony Raimondi .

Also included on the event page is a video promoting the event. The 52-second video features various clips of Trump referring to the protestors as “hostages” while the the aforementioned song plays. The video even showed clips from the riot as Trump vows to “pardon the peaceful January 6 protestors” in a sound bite.
