Biden has lost his mind. This just proves it to everyone.
And now Trump exposed Biden’s last minute fatal mistake that could come back to bite him.
President Trump revealed that he had the option to pardon himself as he prepared to leave the White House after his first term but ultimately chose not to.
In his first Oval Office interview of his second administration, Trump sat down with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday night to discuss various topics, including the controversial pardons issued by former President Joe Biden on his way out of office.
“I was given the option. They said, ‘Sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself?’ I said, ‘I’m not going to pardon anybody. We didn’t do anything wrong,’” Trump stated during the interview.
Reflecting on those who endured hardships under legal scrutiny, Trump added:
“We had people that suffered, they’re incredible patriots. We had people that suffered. You had [former White House chief strategist Steve] Bannon put in jail. You had [former trade adviser] Peter Navarro put in jail. You had people that suffered and far worse than that, they’ve lost their fortunes.”
Trump emphasized that many of these individuals wouldn’t have even accepted a pardon. “[Mr. Biden] went around giving everybody pardons,” he said, pointing to the stark contrast between his own approach and Biden’s actions.
Biden, who set records for issuing pardons and commutations during his single term, granted preemptive pardons to figures such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of the House Jan. 6 committee, anticipating they might face potential legal scrutiny under Trump’s leadership.
In a move that raised eyebrows, Biden also pardoned his brothers, James and Francis Biden, his sister Valerie Biden, and their spouses just minutes before Trump’s second inauguration.
This came on the heels of a sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, and other close associates.
“You know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon,” Trump remarked about Biden’s actions.
When asked whether Biden should be investigated, Trump appeared cautious, stating, “I don’t know,” but later added that he would defer to Congress to decide the matter.
Reflecting on his own experience, Trump described the relentless legal battles he faced during his first term.
“I went through four years of hell by this scum that we had to deal with. I went through four years of hell,” he said.
“I spent millions of dollars in legal fees, and I won. But I did it the hard way. It’s really hard to say that they shouldn’t have to go through it also. It is very hard to say it.”
Trump also criticized Biden’s decision-making, suggesting it stemmed from poor counsel.
“Joe Biden has very bad advisers. Somebody advised Joe Biden to give pardons to everybody but him,” Trump concluded.
