Best Of BPR 12/04: Rep. Pressley Pushes Biden For Broader Pardons + Sen. Whitehouse Says "Grotesqueness" Of Trump's Cabinet Picks Is The Point

Today: 

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley frames President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter a matter of legacy – and calls on him to pardon others in this country who have had their lives upended by war on crime prosecutions or wrongful convictions, beyond his own family members.

And, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse tells us the “grotesqueness” of Trump’s cabinet picks is a feature – not a bug. We talk with him about Trump 2.0, and his experience at the COP29 climate summit.
