Representative Adam Schiff has stated he does not support the idea of President Biden issuing preemptive pardons for Trump critics, including himself, before leaving office. Schiff described such pardons as "defensive and unnecessary." Some Democrats have suggested pardons due to concerns about potential retribution from Trump against his critics. Reports indicate that White House officials are considering this option, but no official confirmation has been made. Trump has denied intentions to seek revenge against those he believes targeted him. He stated he is focused on offering second chances rather than pursuing retribution.
