Although the president of the United States, Donald Trump, did not admit defeat, he hinted at his resignation. But before leaving, he could announce an “apology” to his three children, lawyers, friends and many more, according to US media reports. So that they do not face legal complications for any crime.
But there is a wide debate in the United States about whether the president can pardon someone before a trial begins. Because pardons are generally granted to those who are being tried or convicted.
Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. Who has been convicted of lying to the FBI in an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections. But can crimes that have not been committed or against which there are no charges be forgiven in advance?
According to a report by the Reuters news agency, the United States Supreme Court has clearly stated in 18 that the president’s power of pardon can be legally applied to all crimes. This power can be exercised once the crime has been organized. In most cases, people who have been tried are forgiven. No power of the government will be able to review this amnesty. And it is not necessary to explain the reasons of the president. But this ability to forgive is not “absolute.” Only in the case of federal crimes is the exercise of this power possible.
Of course, Trump can forgive his loved ones and even his family members, according to the report. In 2001, President Bill Clinton pardoned his brother. That he was convicted of possession of cocaine. But the point is that Trump’s children are not guilty of any crime. It is not clear why Trump wants to pardon them. Although Trump and his organization are being investigated for tax evasion. Trump may want to make sure children don’t have to face justice in the future.
Meanwhile, some media reports have suggested that President Trump may forgive himself before resigning. In 2016, he said he had an “absolute right” to forgive himself. “If someone asks if the president can forgive himself, I’d say it’s always possible,” said Brian Cult, a law professor at Michigan State University. Trump can do it. Because there is no clear answer in the constitution.
Although many lawyers say that forgiving yourself is unconstitutional. Because it is a violation of basic principles. No one can be a judge of their own complaint. According to various reports, Trump can pardon himself in advance so that he does not have to face a possible trial after leaving office.
