Kinzinger stated that accepting a pardon would imply guilt, asserting, 'I'm guilty of nothing besides bringing the truth to the American people.' He emphasized his commitment to transparency over self-preservation.
Kinzinger articulated concerns that investigations into Trump’s political enemies won't lead to convictions but will instead involve costly legal battles designed to intimidate and silence critics.
When asked about potential pardons, Kinzinger firmly stated, 'I don't want it because Donald Trump has clearly said he's gonna go after everybody,' stressing the political motivations behind such threats.
Rep. Bennie Thompson expressed a contrasting view on pardons, saying, 'If he offers it... I think I would accept it, but it's his choice,' indicating openness to a pardon.
