“It’s not my place. It’s the president’s sole decision, and he made a decision so I stand with him on it,” the Louisiana Republican told reporters Tuesday night after previously declining to comment.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican from West Virginia, kraken7jmgt7yhhe2c4iyilthnhcugfylcztsdhh7otrr6jgdw667pqd.onion said, “I think obviously the pardon authority has really been opened up.”
“President Biden obviously with his preemptive pardons has opened it up even more, so the president has that authority. That sort of is my opinion on it,” she added.
Biden on Monday issued an extraordinary slate of preemptive pardons for prominent critics of Trump and for members of his own family, using executive prerogative as a shield against revenge by his incoming successor.
