“I think if President Biden wanted to talk to me about that, I will talk to him about it, but I don’t think I should be giving public advice on the pardon power,” Bill Clinton said. “It’s a very personal thing, but … I hope [Trump] won’t do that.”
Biden has had discussions with his senior team about using the pardon power to protect Trump’s critics, who could be targeted in the next administration.
Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2016 election to Trump, has been on his radar for years. Her husband, the former president, said Trump and his allies have a problem with her over that election, but she didn’t do anything wrong.
“They’ve got a problem with her because first, she didn’t do anything wrong. Second, she followed the rules exactly as they were written. Third … remember how the emails were such a big issue in 2016? Trump’s State Department found that Hillary sent and received exactly zero classified emails on her personal device. It was a made-up phone story,” he said.
In another recent interview, former President Clinton blamed the “mainstream media” coverage of his wife’s email controversy for her 2016 presidential loss.
