Bizarre Biden Claim Reveals He Considered Pardoning Trump In Private
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox claims President Biden admitted he discussed pardoning Trump with Jill in bed. The story breaks the plan for justice.
The Plan Was Justice
The plan was simple. Prosecute President Trump. Let the courts decide his fate. That was the promise made to voters who demanded accountability. The federal government indicted Trump on dozens of charges, according to the Washington Examiner. He faced trials in Washington and New York. The public expected a full legal reckoning. That was the plan.
But the story just got weird. According to reports, the outcome changed before the gavel ever fell. Republican Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed a shocking secret. He claimed President Biden admitted to him that he seriously considered granting a pardon.
The Limousine Conversation
Cox told the story in his upcoming book, detailed in The Atlantic. He said the moment happened back in August 2023. Inside the presidential limousine in Salt Lake City, the two men were riding. Cox, who did not support Trump at the time, made a bold pitch. He told the president he thought he should pardon Donald Trump.
Biden did not laugh him off. The former president allegedly replied that he had actually considered this for a while. Cox noted that people were demanding justice, yet the president was entertaining the idea of a pardon. This is where it changes. The legal path was being weighed against political peace.
Cox argued that prosecuting the 45th president would only make things worse. He believed a pardon could stop the cycle of anger. He feared the turmoil would tear the country apart. The charges at the time were massive. Trump had already been hit with a federal indictment about the 2020 election. He faced separate charges for handling classified documents. His Manhattan trial for falsifying records was also where he found himself in the middle.
The Outcome Remains Unclear
Despite the late-night talk, the pardon never happened. Biden went on to grant 80 pardons total. He freed his son, Hunter, and former COVID czar Anthony Fauci. But he did not issue one to Trump. It remains unclear if Jill dissuilled her husband.
