In first interview, President Donald Trump warns Joe Biden: 'He didn't pardon himself'
Hindustan TimesUS President Donald Trump on Thursday, during an interview with Fox News, issued a warning to former President Joe Biden, stating that he had not given himself a pre-emptive pardon which would guard him against any actions taken by Trump's administration. Donald Trump issued a warning to Joe Biden In the interview Trump says, “This guy went around giving everybody pardons, and you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn't give himself a pardon. If you look at it, it all had to do with him.” During his last days in office, Biden had issued pre-emptive pardons for his siblings and their spouses saying that they had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics,” and indicated that he thought such attacks would continue. He also pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack on the Capitol as well as other allies who were on bad terms with Republican President Donald Trump.
