Peter Navarro to Newsmax: Blanket Pardons Would Be Bad for Democracy

Peter Navarro, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, told Newsmax on Friday that it would be bad for democracy should President Joe Biden finish his terms with blanket pardons for people who have yet to be accused of crimes.

Biden reportedly is mulling whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials, including Sen.-elect Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former Rep.

Another name being floated is Dr. Anthony Fauci, former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
