Donald Trump Wants Liz Cheney Pardoned / Opinion
Story by Ross Rosenfeld. December 20, 2024.
- Trump’s Strategy: Donald Trump suggested that Liz Cheney (R-WY) could be prosecuted for her role in investigating the January 6 attack, but he might actually want her pardoned to avoid relitigating the insurrection.
- Political Implications: Prosecuting Cheney (R-WY) could backfire on Trump, making her a hero and bringing renewed focus to his actions during the January 6 events.
- Legal Hurdles: The Constitution’s speech or debate clause provides members of Congress with immunity for acts performed on the floor, complicating any prosecution.
-
Pardon Considerations: President Joe Biden might consider offering preemptive pardons to those under threat from Trump’s potential actions, though some may prefer to fight the accusations.
