Biden White House considering preemptive pardons for Trump’s perceived enemies

White House aides, administration officials and prominent defense attorneys in Washington, DC , are discussing potential preemptive pardons or legal aid for people who might be targeted for prosecution by President-elect Donald Trump after he retakes power.

The move would be an extraordinary step and shows the grave concerns many Democrats have that Trump will prosecute a range of figures that he considers to be his enemies.

Biden 's senior aides inside the White House have been deliberating for weeks about the possibility.

Biden could grant preemptive pardons for family members, political allies, his personal attorneys, and even for himself.

Some former Justice Department officials have said they wouldn’t want a preemptive pardon because it might imply they’re conceding there was wrongdoing.

Attorneys across the political spectrum have raised concerns about blanket pardons to protect against future investigations.

FWD.us is airing TV ads in the Washington , DC , market, pressing Biden to “give people a second chance,” by granting clemency to Americans with “outdated” prison sentences.

They’ve pointed to Obama ’s record-setting commutations as a model.
