Democrat push to investigate Trump World raises possibility he will follow Biden’s pardon lead
By naming the officials and companies they plan to investigate, Democrats may have given Trump a ready-made list for preemptive pardons, the same tool Biden used to protect his son, Fauci and others, though a pardon wouldn’t stop congressional investigations or state charges.
Immediately after winning control of the House and Senate, Democrats took to social media to announce they would be issuing subpoenas against anyone and everyone associated with President Donald Trump and his administration.
By expressly naming many of their targets, Democrats may have given Trump a list of people and corporations to preemptively pardon, just as former President Joe Biden did with his son, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top officials.
PBS reported that Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has outlined five priorities, including Trump family business dealings, the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. mixed
