In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Anne break down who President Trump might pardon and the extent of his pardon powers, including whether he can pardon even himself.
In the full episode, Preet and Anne discuss the GSA Administrator's letter informing President-elect Biden that the formal presidential transition process can begin, Biden’s first round of cabinet selections, the ongoing election litigation, and the Trump campaign’s disavowal of controversial attorney Sidney Powell.
