Biden Weighs Preemptive Pardons for Trump-Era Targets

The White House is considering preemptive pardons for individuals like former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley, amid concerns that President-elect Trump and his allies might target them with costly investigations. This unprecedented use of presidential pardon power is being discussed by President Biden's team, although no definitive list or proposal has been agreed upon. The move aims to protect potential targets from reputational and financial damage, even if no charges are brought against them.
