💭   Trump pardons Jan 6 rioters; Biden's preemptive pardons spark debate

politics

In a controversial move, President Donald Trump issued pardons for roughly 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot, including leaders of extremist groups, framing them as victims of a politicized justice system [2][5][9]. Conversely, outgoing President Joe Biden granted preemptive pardons to allies, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, citing protection from politically motivated prosecution under a Trump administration [43][19]. These actions sparked significant debate about clemency's impact on justice and political power dynamics [0][22]. Both sides faced criticism: Trump for potentially undermining legal accountability, and Biden for perceived hypocrisy regarding his earlier stance against preemptive pardons [42][8].
