Bernie Sanders Warns of 'Dangerous' Precedent from Biden's Pardon of Hunter, Urges Preemptive Pardons for Jan. 6 Committee
Dec 15, 2024, 06:52 PM
Senator Bernie Sanders has expressed concerns over President Joe Biden's decision to issue a sweeping pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, for tax and gun crimes, describing it as setting a 'dangerous' precedent. Sanders, speaking on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' acknowledged the familial motivations behind Biden's action but highlighted the potential for future misuse by other presidents. He also advised Biden to consider preemptive pardons for members of the January 6th Committee due to President-elect Donald Trump's threats to jail them, labeling such threats as 'outrageous' and indicative of authoritarianism. Senator Adam Schiff has publicly stated his opposition to receiving a preemptive pardon, citing the committee's work and the precedent it might set.
