Former President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by claiming that President Joe Biden’s pardons are invalid.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later walked back the statement, acknowledging that the claim had no constitutional basis. The issue has led to heated exchanges between the administration and the media, with Trump urging journalists to scrutinize Biden’s pardons. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed Leavitt for evidence supporting Trump’s assertion, but no concrete proof was provided.

The president’s pardon power is one of the few checks on our bloated criminal justice system, and neither Trump nor Biden should be playing games with it.
