Speculation Mounts Over Potential Pardons In Pres. Trump's Final Weeks

The transcript discusses a Justice Department investigation into a potential bribery scheme involving presidential pardons. The investigation examines whether intermediaries offered political contributions in exchange for pardons. Despite the investigation, no charges have been made public. President Trump dismissed the investigation as fake news and denied any wrongdoing. Speculation arose about preemptive pardons for Trump's family and associates, though such pardons are legally impossible. The Justice Department has not commented, and recently, Trump pardoned Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
