The news is reporting Trump has no plans to pardon himself nor his family.
We will know for sure by 12:00 EST on Wednesday

If Mr. Biden ever wants a headline he should pardon Mr. Trump and ask him to go away.

What do you call somebody who is surrounded by crooks, but is himself the most honest man you've ever met, just so, so honest, just amazingly honest?

Serious question. Is Trump going to end up with a relatively low number of pardons compared to other presidents?

On the same website:
