On Sunday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) expressed skepticism about the preemptive pardons then-President Joe Biden granted to his family members in the final days of his administration, stating that he didn’t believe they would “hold up in court.” Just minutes before,
Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term last week, Biden announced pardons for several family members, including his brother James B. Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens, Valerie Owens’ husband John T. Owens, and his brother Francis W. Biden, citing the possibility of “politically motivated investigations.”
