Charlamagne Tha God Argues Why It'd Be 'Strange' For Biden To Offer Preemptive Pardons
HuffPost
The radio host suggested the president use his pardon power elsewhere instead of using it on Trump's political foes.
Charlamagne Tha God on Thursday explained why he thinks President Joe Biden shouldn’t preemptively pardon current and ex-officials who could be targeted by Donald Trump in the president-elect’s second term.
“Makes people look guilty, if you ask me,” said the co-host of “The Breakfast Club.”
Biden has reportedly spoken to senior aides about the possibility of preemptive pardons while Trump has eyed Kash Patel — a loyalist and a “deep state” conspiracy theorist who has vowed to prosecute the president-elect’s enemies — as his pick to serve as FBI director.
Patel — who used his 2023 book to call out dozens of “corrupt actors” that he claimed to be part of the “deep state” — could replace outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray, who has announced his plans to leave the post prior to Trump’s inauguration.
Bill Clinton, while discussing his wife Hillary Clinton being a potential target of the incoming administration on Wednesday’s edition of “The View,” said he doesn’t think he should give Biden “public advice on the pardon power” but he’d be open to discuss such a move if the president is interested.
