Trump's Attempt to Undermine Biden's Legitimacy Through DOJ Investigation
A closer look at Trump's actions to discredit Biden's presidency through a DOJ investigation and potential consequences for American democracy.
Justice Department Launches Investigation Into Biden's Presidential Pardons
any pardons issued by his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, according to Reuters sources. The move has sparked controversy and raised concerns about political interference in the department's work.
The Justice Department's pardon attorney, Rosalind Sargent-Burns, sent an email to staff informing them of the directive, but did not provide any additional details on the scope of the investigation. However, sources say that the investigation will focus on any pardons issued during the last days of Biden's presidency.
This development comes after Trump's controversial use of his presidential pardon power, including pardoning his former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, and political ally, Roger Stone. While presidential pardon power is granted by the Constitution, it is meant to be used as a tool for justice and mercy, not as a political tool.
Critics of the Trump administration see this as a blatant attempt to undermine Biden's presidency and potentially target individuals who were granted clemency by the previous administration. They argue that this move by the Justice Department could be seen as a form of political retribution and could set a dangerous precedent for future presidents.
The Biden administration has yet to issue any pardons, but it is not uncommon for outgoing presidents to issue pardons in their final days in office. This investigation by the Justice Department may cast a shadow on any future pardons issued by Biden, as well as the integrity of the pardon process.
In response to this news, a spokesperson for the Biden administration stated that they have full confidence in the Justice Department's independence and professionalism. They also noted that any pardons issued by Biden will be made in accordance with the Constitution and the rule of law.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will impact the relationship between the Trump and Biden administrations and the role of presidential pardons in the United States."
