Trump’s Preemptive Pardons
Unsurprisingly enough, he also reportedly prepared a handful of preemptive pardons (for those who haven’t been charged with a crime) for White House officials as well as close friends and family. Also on the list reportedly might include himself, his lawyer and his oldest daughter’s husband.
Preemptive pardons are under discussion for top White House officials who have not been charged with crimes, including Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, senior adviser Stephen Miller, personnel chief John McEntee, and social media director Dan Scavino. The president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, her husband, Jared Kushner, who both hold White House positions, are also under consideration, the people said. Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani has also discussed the issue of a pardon with the president. (Bloomberg)
