President Trump sat down with Sean Hannity for an interview on Wednesday evening, where he discussed Joe Biden’s pardoning spree in his final days before leaving the White House.
And, President Trump implied that Joe Biden made a grave mistake…namely, not pardoning himself.
“This guy went around giving everybody pardons,” President Trump told Hannity,
“And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon. And if you look at it, it all had to do with him.”

From The Hill:
President Trump on Wednesday repeatedly suggested it was a mistake that former President Biden did not preemptively pardon himself before leaving office.
Trump, in a sit-down interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, also danced around questions on whether Biden should be investigated. But on multiple occasions, Trump signaled Biden should have taken advantage of the pardon power to protect himself.
“This guy went around giving everybody pardons,” he said. “And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon. And if you look at it, it all had to do with him.”
Trump later said Biden “got very bad advice.”
“Joe Biden has very bad advisers. Somebody advised Joe Biden to give pardons to everybody but him,” Trump said.
Trump told Hannity he would defer to Congress as to whether lawmakers should investigate Biden and his decision to preemptively pardon family members and Trump critics like retired Gen. Mark Milley, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and members of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
In announcing those pardons, Biden said he was concerned those individuals would be subject to politically motivated investigations.
The president also suggested Biden and other critics should have to endure the same legal battles that he faced the last two years after he was indicted in New York, Georgia, Florida and Washington, D.C.

Here’s what folks are saying on X:
Biden’s blunder is our gain! He pardoned everyone but himself, leaving the door wide open for justice. Trump’s right, it’s time for accountability!

Maybe it was his retirement plan. I’ve heard the federal pen is pretty nice. 😊
