About this episode
In this episode, we break down the president’s full and unconditional pardon of Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife, exploring the bribery, conspiracy, and money laundering charges that are now wiped away and the political motivations claimed by the White House. In this episode, we also examine the fierce backlash to the decision, what it means for the power of presidential clemency, and how it could reshape public trust in the justice system going forward.
