On this Washington Wednesday edition of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy unpack the power of presidential pardons—how they work, why they’re so controversial, and what’s different about Donald Trump’s approach. AJC legal reporter Rosie Manins joins to explain the legal and political fallout. Then, Alex Little, lawyer for reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, shares how the Chrisleys secured a Trump pardon and what’s next for the famous family.
