President Joe Biden says he is still considering whether to give pardons to people who have been criticized or threatened by President-elect Donald Trump. Biden said Friday while speaking to reporters that he and his aides were playing close attention to rhetoric from Trump and his allies about his political opponents and those involved in his various criminal and civil woes. Issuing preemptive pardons for actual or imagined offenses would stretch the powers of the presidency in untested ways. Biden, did, however, scoff at the notion of pardoning himself, saying he didn't do anything wrong.
