Rep. Raskin is one of the people Biden pardoned before he left office. Raskin says it's strange to be pardoned for doing his job.

President Biden granted pardons to several prominent public servants Monday who have faced attacks from President-elect Trump in one of his final acts in office. Biden issued pardons for Dr.

President Biden said the pardons are not an "acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing" but rather protect individuals from "unjustified and politically motivated prosectutions."

Preemptive pardons, like the ones Joe Biden issued in his final hours as president, have been used by Donald Trump, Jimmy Carter and other presidents.

"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin slammed former President Biden's decision to issue last-second pardons of his family on Tuesday, arguing it hurts his legacy.
