Preemptive Pardons Amid Political Tensions

Discussions are ongoing about the possibility of preemptive pardons for individuals who may face hostility from the incoming Trump administration. Among those being considered for pardons are prominent figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and retired General Mark Milley, both of whom have been vocal critics of Trump. The urgency arises from concerns regarding Trump's anticipated law enforcement appointments, which may seek retribution against those in opposition. Although the potential pardons are intended to shield these individuals, it remains unclear if they would even accept such offers from the Biden administration.
