Bernie Sanders Urges Biden to Consider Preemptive Pardons Amid Trump's Threats to Jail January 6th Committee Members
Dec 15, 2024, 05:40 PM
Senator Bernie Sanders has voiced concerns over President-elect Donald Trump's threats to jail members of the House January 6th Committee, describing the statements as 'outrageous' and indicative of authoritarian tendencies. During an interview on NBC News' 'Meet the Press,' Sanders suggested that President Joe Biden should 'very seriously' consider issuing preemptive pardons for committee members, including seven House Democrats and two House Republicans, former Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. This comes in response to Trump's assertion on 'Meet the Press' that the committee members 'should go to jail' for their investigation into the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Sanders emphasized the importance of protecting democratic institutions and the civil liberties of elected officials who are simply performing their duties.
