Should the President know who he's pardoning? Well, I don't, I don't know anything about this one. That's the first time I've seen that. But I would say The President has the authority to pardon people, and that's within his realm to do it. So I'm not going to question who he pardons or he doesn't pardon. But the argument from Republicans is that Biden used an auto pen for pardons and that he didn't know who he was pardoning. (08:53–08:59)
