"I went through four years of hell by this scum that we had to deal with."
Trump told Hannity that he would defer to Congress when he was asked about Biden pardoning the members of the J6 Committee, saying, "I think we'll let Congress decide."
However, he said it was "hard to say" that Biden and others shouldn't have to go through challenges similar to what he faced with the multiple legal battles. "I went through four years of hell by this scum that we had to deal with. I went through four years of hell. I spent millions of dollars in legal fees, and I won. But I did it the hard way. It’s really hard to say that they shouldn’t have to go through it also. It is very hard to say that."
Trump suggested that it was a mistake that Biden did not pardon himself as he had done for the rest of his family. “This guy went around giving everybody pardons,” Trump told the host in the interview. "And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon. And if you look at it, it all had to do with him."
Trump revealed that on his way out of the White House, he was given the option to pardon himself, but declined at the time. “I was given the option. They said 'Sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself?’ I said, ‘I’m not going to pardon anybody. We didn’t do anything wrong.’”
Along with family members, Biden preemptively pardoned Trump critics from the Biden administration, including retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the January 6 Committee such as Liz Cheney and others.
Biden claimed he was concerned that those he pardoned would be subject to politically motivated investigations.
