California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff is weighing whether to reject a pardon issued by President Joe Biden to those involved in the Congressional investigation into the January 6th riot, including Schiff himself.
In an interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Schiff acknowledged the potential fallout from accepting the pardon. He pointed out the years he spent arguing that accepting a pardon would be an “admission of guilt.”
Schiff’s stance stems from his previous criticism of former President Donald Trump during his first term, where he made it clear that pardons should not be seen as an excuse for wrongdoing.
Now, facing the possibility of being offered a pardon, Schiff is grappling with the political and personal implications of accepting it, given his prior position on the matter.
