Extra: The Biden Family Pardons

Spread the news

In his final hours before leaving office on Monday, former President Biden announced pre-emptive pardons for his siblings, their spouses, and others he feared could be targeted for prosecution during the Trump administration. Some of those pardoned, like former Joint Chiefs Chairman Retired General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci, have been frequent targets of criticism by Trump. In the final days of the Biden administration, some House Republicans discussed pursuing legal action against the former president’s brother, Jim Biden, accusing him of lying to Congress. Hours after Trump was sworn into office, former federal prosecutor and ex-Trump attorney Jim Trusty spoke with host Chris Foster about the history and controversy of pre-emptive presidential pardons. Trusty explained how pardons work, why they can be problematic for recipients, and what potential charges Biden’s family and other pardon recipients might have faced.
We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with attorney Jim Trusty, allowing you to hear more about his perspective on presidential pardons and why President Biden’s actions have not sat well with many Americans.

Debora Cahn on ‘The Diplomat’ and “using your words”

Spread the news

Ahead of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, scores of career diplomats at the State Department were asked by Trump aides to resign. Trump campaigned on dismantling what he has called the “deep state” of federal bureaucrats, who he views as lacking loyalty to him and undermining his agenda. The forced departures were seen as confirmation of this plan – and a step toward changing the tone of the department. But who are these bureaucrats, and what are their stories? Those are the driving questions behind Netflix’s “The Diplomat.” Martine Powers spoke to its creator and executive producer, Debora Cahn. The show is about the life of a no-nonsense Foreign Service officer who’s suddenly made the U.S. ambassador to Britain. It is messy, it is human, and it – unintentionally – sometimes seems to be in conversation with the headlines. On “Post Reports” today, Martine and Debora talk about the stories we don’t hear out of the Foreign Service, the allure of “competency porn,” and what “The Diplomat” can tell us about the value of “using your words.” Today’s show was produced and mixed by Rennie Svirnovskiy, with help from Peter Bresnan. It was edited by Maggie Penman. Subscribe to The Washington Post here .
