The President's Potential Preemptive Pardons

There are talks of President Trump considering preemptive pardons for his family members and close associates, including Don Jr., Eric, Jared Kushner, and Rudy Giuliani. This would be the first time in history that an outgoing president seeks pardons for individuals who have not yet been charged with any crimes. The push for these pardons reportedly began earlier this year, and they have gained momentum in recent weeks as concerns over potential future prosecution rise. While a blanket pardon for crimes not yet committed is unprecedented, legal experts doubt its efficacy.
