This step comes at a sensitive time before he leaves the White House on January 20, as Biden discusses with his advisors the possibility of using his constitutional powers to protect some individuals even if no charges are brought against them. After.

 

 

 

Among the names proposed that may receive a pardon is the former Special Counsel of the House. White on Covid-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who turned into a vocal opponent of Trump. The potential list also includes California Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, who played a key role in Trump’s first impeachment before the Senate, as well as retired General Mark Milley, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump’s first term. This discussion reflects growing concern that Trump may seek revenge against his opponents if he wins the upcoming elections, as he has repeatedly stated that he intends to go after those he believes stole the 2020 election from him. Kash Patel, whom Trump chose as director of the FBI, also confirmed his intention to go after those who “Help Joe Biden rig the election.” The controversy over the pardon resumed recently after Biden pardoned his son Hunter in cases related to the purchase of weapons and tax fraud, although he had previously confirmed that he had no intention of granting his son a presidential pardon.

 

 

 

 

 "Politico" Digital was the first to report discussions, later reported by the New York Times. And “CBS News” And the Washington Post, citing informed sources.  

 

 

Patel, who held a senior position in the Pentagon during Trump’s first presidential term, said that as head of the FBI, he would “pursue” ; Those “who helped Joe Biden rig the presidential election.” In a post on his platform, “Truth Social,” Trump wrote in September that after winning the election, he would be keen to “pursue those who rigged it to the fullest extent of the law.” The United States has a long history of presidential pardons issued at the end of a term. On his last day in the White House in January 2021, Trump pardoned 74 people accused of various crimes and misdemeanors. But the preemptive pardons that Biden is reportedly considering issuing to protect people from prosecution that may not occur appear to set a precedent.
