President Donald Trump is refusing to concede the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden. Eventually, Trump will have to accept defeat and concede the race. CNN reports that Trump could use his expansive pardon power to try to settle legal questions on his way out the door. Will Trump consider granting himself a pardon? He faces state investigations into his business and finances. There is also the prospect of federal investigators scrutinizing him after he leaves office. There is no law saying Trump cannot pardon himself. Trump's pardons would only cover federal crimes. Trump still faces ongoing investigations into his Organization by the New York attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney.
US President Donald Trump appears to be running out of lifelines to save himself politically. CNN reports Trump had hoped a range of pivotal events would turn the electoral tide in his direction, but they're vanishing as quickly as Halloween candy. A coronavirus vaccine hasn't been created. Nor has a massive stimulus package materialized. And the investigation into the Clinton Foundation was a bust. So the president has taken to dialing Fox hosts from the White House and ripping his senior-most Cabinet members for not delivering before election day. It's an unfamiliar experience for a man used to getting what he wants. He is in a completely different universe right now where nobody is left, really, to help him out of the jams he keeps getting himself into.
