About this episode
In this episode, we break down why President Donald Trump’s 2025 clemency decisions are dominating headlines, focusing on the argument that the Constitution intentionally gives the president broad, unilateral pardon power. In this episode, we explore the controversy around pardons and sentence reductions tied to January 6, and whether clemency is being used as mercy, a corrective to a politicized justice system, or a reward for loyalty.
