Comey Says Biden Should ‘At Least Think About’ Pardoning Trump

While President 👤Donald Trump has reportedly mulled giving himself a presidential pardon before he leaves office, former FBI Director James Comey is suggesting that President-elect Joe Biden should consider granting him a one.

During an interview with the BBC, Comey was asked if Biden should pardon Trump.

He said, “I don’t know. He should consider it.”

“Now, I don’t know whether 👤Donald Trump… he’s not a genius, but he might figure out that if he accepts a pardon, that’s an admission of guilt, the United States Supreme Court has said. So I don’t know that he would accept a pardon,” he continued.

However, Comey argued, “As part of healing the country and getting us to a place where we can focus on things that are going to matter over the next four years, I think 👤Joe Biden is going to have at least think about that.”

While the former FBI chief is suggesting it may be helpful for national healing if Biden pardons Trump, he has made clear that he believes the president should be held responsible for what he sees as Trump’s role in inciting a mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol.
