White House Discussing Preemptive Pardons Of Trump's Enemies: Reports

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING People in President Joe Biden’s orbit are weighing the possibility of him issuing preemptive pardons to people who may be targeted by President-elect Donald Trump, according to multiple media reports Thursday. Politico, CNN and USA Today all reported that senior White House aides are having serious discussions about pursuing pardons for some of Trump’s political enemies out of concern he will pursue criminal indictments against them. The list of potential pardon recipients may include former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who Trump has said should “go to jail;” California’s Democratic Sen.-elect Adam Schiff, who Trump famously referred to as “the enemy from within;” Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who’s publicly sparred with Trump over the COVID-19 pandemic; and special counsel Jack Smith, who led the two federal indictments against Trump. “I believe we have a system of laws that works, and everybody’s held to the same standard, or you don’t, and I think preemptive pardons — where does that stop?” said Sen. Mark Warner, who also criticized Biden’s earlier decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
