Could it be true? CNN thinks it might be. According to anchor Jake Tapper, Joe Biden issued himself a secret pardon before he left office.
Tapper was speaking to New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman on Friday when he insisted that it was “possible” that Biden pardoned himself but he and his staff have kept it quiet.
The pair were talking about the pardons that Biden pushed out in his last days. And Haberman noted that a lot of liberals are not happy with some of the pre-emptive ones.
That brought Tapper to speculate about secret pardons.
“Although it is possible, we don’t know, but it is always possible for a president to pardon somebody and not announce it,” Tapper exclaimed.
“That’s true. That’s true,” Haberman replied.
“I mean, so it’s possible Joe Biden pardoned himself, and we just don’t know about it. Who knows? Joe Biden set a lot of precedents on his way out the door,” the CNN anchor said.

Is it true? Did the corrupt White House put Biden’s secret pardon in a drawer and refuse to tell us all about it?
For his part, Trump was surprised that Biden didn’t pardon himself. And Trump added that he thinks it was a mistake for Biden not to pardon himself.
So, we’ll see.
