Trump questions Biden's decision not to self-pardon
In his first interview after taking office, Donald Trump expressed surprise that Joe Biden did not pardon himself. "If you look at it, it all had to do with him," said the President of the United States.
A Fox News journalist asked Trump about Joe Biden's decision regarding pardons for some members of his family and Trump's political opponents. The journalist reminded me that during the previous election campaign, Biden said he would never preemptively pardon anyone.
"I was given the option. They said sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself? I’m not going to pardon anybody. We didn’t do anything wrong," explained Donald Trump.
Additionally, the President of the United States expressed his surprise that Joe Biden did not pardon himself, suggesting that he might need it because everything "had to do with him."
"This guy went around giving everybody pardons, and you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn't give himself a pardon. If you look at it, it all had to do with him," said Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that during Biden's administration, the Department of Justice was used against him and other Republicans, as he was charged in four different cases.
In the last hours of his presidency, Joe Biden preemptively pardoned five members of his family. In a White House statement, it was explained that he did so due to attacks from President Donald Trump and his circle aimed at his relatives.
