Donald Trump fears that after his tenure, his family could be targeted by the judiciary. As a precaution, the incumbent US President is considering issuing extensive pardons for his relatives. His prominent lawyer should also belong to the select group.

According to a media report, the elected US President Donald Trump is considering a preventive pardon for three of his children, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his private lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Trump spoke with Giuliani last week about a possible pardon for the lawyer, reported the New York Times. The President is also considering a preventive pardon for his eldest sons Donald Junior and Eric, his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, who works for him as a consultant.

Accordingly, Trump fears that the US judiciary could take action against his environment after his resignation under the future President Joe Biden. As the “New York Times” explains, Trump’s eldest son Donald Junior had been targeted by special investigator Robert Mueller in the Russia affair, but was never formally accused. In the past, Kushner had given federal authorities false information about his relationships abroad.

According to “NYT” it is unclear what Trump might want to protect Eric and Ivanka from. It is true that the New York judiciary is investigating the Trump Organization currently led by Eric Trump, in which the family’s business activities are bundled; Presidential pardons only include cases at the federal level. Even with Giuliani, who leads Trump’s legal battle against alleged electoral fraud, it is not clear which possible offenses could be covered.

Trump can pardon those already convicted

As the incumbent president, Trump has a comprehensive right to pardons. It can pardon those already convicted, but also issue a preventive pardon for impending future criminal proceedings. A week ago, the president, whose term of office ends on January 20, pardoned his former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, who was involved in the Russia affair. Trump had already released his long-time advisor Roger Stone, who was convicted in the course of the Russia affair, from prison in July.

There is even speculation as to whether the elected president could issue himself a full pardon himself before the end of his term in office to protect himself from impending legal proceedings in the future. Whether Trump can actually pardon himself is controversial. Just on Tuesday, a published court document about an investigation into a possible bribe scandal in the White House caused a stir. Accordingly, there are investigations into the question of whether a pardon should be bought by the president. In the court document, however, all names are blackened out. Trump spoke of “fake news” on Twitter.
