During a CNN segment, Jake Tapper and Maggie Haberman discussed President Trump’s comments suggesting investigations into Biden. Trump hinted that Biden's pardons, particularly those for his family, may warrant scrutiny. Tapper referenced a Supreme Court ruling on immunity that could complicate investigations against Biden. Haberman noted there is outrage from various individuals regarding Biden's pardons but highlighted that Trump's assertions of potential wrongdoing primarily considered actions taken before Biden’s presidency. The discussion underscores the ongoing tension between both administrations and the implications of previous pardons.
TAPPER: President Trump was also asked about these last minute pardons by his predecessor, Joe Biden, and he had this note. Take a listen. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) TRUMP: This guy went around giving everybody pardons. 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.
HABERMAN: It remains again, remains to be seen, Jake. I will say that, you know, Trump is not the only person who has expressed a lot of outrage about some of those preemptive pardons, especially the ones for President Biden's own family members.
