Biden Should Pardon Trump On His Way Out: Op-Ed


OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author’s opinion.

The executive editor of the National Review penned a column last week, a day after now-President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory, calling on President Joe Biden to invite him to the White House and prepare a pardon for his successor.

While Biden did invite Trump, who arrived at the White House Wednesday morning, it’s not clear whether a pardon is forthcoming.

“Biden should … move to use his constitutional authority to pardon Donald Trump of all pending federal charges, and relieve special counsel Jack Smith of his duties,” Mark Antonio Wright noted. “He should then ask New York governor Kathy Hochul to use her authority to pardon Trump for the crimes he was convicted of in New York State.”

While going on to claim that Trump is at least partially responsible for the crimes he’s been either charged with or convicted of, Wright noted that Trump’s Electoral College and national majority victories are “a definitive verdict on the subject delivered by the highest authority: the people.”

“Wise or not, a majority of the public chose to reelect Donald Trump as the next president of the United States. He deserves to enter that term in January 2025 with the slate wiped clean of the controversies of the previous era,” Wright noted.
