Summary

President Donald Trump could take a lesson from former President Joe Biden before leaving office and issue preemptive pardons for key figures around him. The topic of issuing presidential pardons for charges that have not yet been brought has fallen into a legally gray area, but is now being viewed across the aisle as a possible strategy amid alleged weaponization of justice. We’ll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
