“President Joe Biden said Friday he will not issue a preemptive pardon for himself as he considers pre-pardoning adversaries of President-elect Donald Trump who he fears could be targeted with politically motivated investigations by the Trump administration,” USA Today reports.
Said Biden: “For myself? What would I pardon myself for? No, I have no contemplation of pardoning myself for anything. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
