“Since January, Donald Trump has been conducting a large-scale experiment to probe all the ways presidential pardon power can be abused. He has granted pardons to his own co-conspirators in crime and insurrection. He has given pardons as rewards for campaign contributions or for business deals that benefit his family. He has given away pardons sometimes just because he feels the rich and famous should have a ‘get out of jail free’ card. And he has abused the pardon power to manipulate foreign elections and prop up right-wing authoritarians. It is possible there are more ways to abuse the pardon power than Trump has found so far, but we would be hard pressed to think what they would be.” (12/04/25)
