Trump's Potential Pardons: Jan. 6 Rioters and High-Profile Figures
President-elect Donald Trump, poised to become the first felon in the White House, is expected to use his presidential pardon power to potentially pardon Jan. 6 rioters, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and possibly Hunter Biden. While Trump cannot pardon himself for state convictions, his victory may impact ongoing federal trials against him. Trump's past pardons included high-profile figures like Steve Bannon and Joe Arpaio.
