U.S. House speaker on Jan 22 slammed former President Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons.
As the nation prepared for President Donald Trump's inauguration, President Biden pardoned his siblings just minutes before leaving office on Monday.
Trump was investigated for attempting to overthrow the results of the 2020 election and refusing to return classified documents, among other offenses, but powered his way through the legal system, helped in large part by a Supreme Court ruling that found presidents have immunity for official actions — a ruling that would likely help Biden were he to face an investigation.
Biden’s preemptive pardon to cover up for potential misconduct involving himself is a totally different ballgame, and puts him within the company of President Donald Trump at the end of his first term.
