You know the concept of the presidential pardon, but what about the history of this incredibly important power? Kim Wehle, author of the new book Pardon Power: How the Pardon System Works - And Why? provides history going all the way back to the biblical times until the present, including the impact of the Supreme Court's landmark presidential immunity ruling. We dive deep into the complex web of presidential pardons, the Supreme Court's controversial ruling, and the ongoing legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump.
Wehle, who was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Washington D.C. office, helps us explore the limits and implications of executive clemency, analyze the Supreme Court's landmark decision that reshaped the landscape of government accountability, and untangle the intricate maze of criminal and civil cases Trump continues to navigate. From the constitutional questions to the political fallout, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the intertwined issues.
