LOADING ERROR LOADINGIn issuing preemptive pardons for members of the Jan. 6 committee, former military leaders and government officials, and family members, now ex-President Joe Biden made one final terrible decision. He also pardoned his brother James Biden and his wife, as well as his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband. In the statement announcing the preemptive pardons, Biden notes that they should not be seen as an admission that any crime was committed, nor should their acceptance be seen as an admission of guilt. Former President Joe Biden's final act as president included issuing preemptive pardons to people targeted for revenge by President Donald Trump. And yet Biden set just such a precedent in the plain self-interest of pardoning his family members.
