President Joe Biden claimed on Friday that as his failed presidency comes to an end, he has no plans to pardon himself — but he may issue preemptive pardons to some opponents of President-elect Donald Trump.
Biden made the remarks during a press conference from the White House when asked if he has “ruled out a pardon for yourself or any other additional members of the family.”
Reporter: “On pardons, have you ruled out a pardon for yourself or any other additional members of the family?”
“For myself?” Biden asked. “Well, why should I pardon myself?”
“No, I have no contemplation of pardoning myself or anything,” he claimed. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Biden said last summer that he would not pardon his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden, but later went back on his word following the election.
