Even More Presidential Pardons

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss President Donald Trump’s social media post pardoning ex-Colorado election office Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges of election interference and sentenced to a nine-year prison term. Trump’s pardon raises questions of the limits on presidential pardons, which are largely understood to apply only to federal crimes, not to convictions by individual states, as is in the Peters case. Also, the Indiana Senate yesterday rejected a Trump-backed redistricting map, and other states are seeming to back off from efforts to gerrymander districts for partisan gain before the 2026 midterms. Then, they discuss new videos, photos and files obtained by CBS News showing what alleged Minnesota Somali scammers did with the proceeds of COVID related fraud against the federal government. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was grilled yesterday during a House hearing, in which Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) referred to the ambush of two National Guardsman in Washington, DC as an "unfortunate accident". Then, they talk about Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s announcement that the city would proceed with a corporate head tax on employees working within the city, despite objections from fellow Democrats. And finally, the guys share their "You Cannot Be Serious" stories for the week. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
