Dec 11, 2024, 09:06 PM

Former President Bill Clinton has expressed openness to discussing a preemptive pardon for his wife, Hillary Clinton, with President Joe Biden. This comes in light of Donald Trump's impending second term, where there are concerns that Trump might target political opponents, including Hillary Clinton. During an appearance on 'The View', Clinton stated that he would be willing to talk to Biden about the matter, although he hopes such measures would not be necessary. Clinton also defended his wife, asserting that she did nothing wrong and did not send or receive any classified emails on her private server. The discussion around preemptive pardons has gained traction as Biden considers similar actions for other potential targets of the incoming Trump administration.
