President Donald Trump's final batch of pardons is expected to contain few controversial or outlandish criminals. According to CNN, Trump spent Saturday night huddled in a lengthy meeting with his legal advisers. In it, he was warned that pardoning himself and his family members would put him in legal peril and convey the appearance of guilt. Also, pardoning GOP lawmakers involved in the Capitol insurrection would anger the very Senate Republicans impeaching him. Several of Trump's closest advisers have also urged him not to grant clemency to anyone who breached the US Capitol. White House counsel Pat Cipollone and another attorney who represented Trump in his first impeachment trial, Eric Herschmann, offered the grave warnings. Trump, his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner listened quietly. Trump may, of course, change his mind.
Business Insider reports former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday had sharp words for President Donald Trump's legal team. Christie told Martha Radditz on ABC's 'This Week' that the team's approach to overturning the election results was 'an absurdity.'

It's a lack of evidence and a lack of any type of legal theory that makes any sense."

Pete Stauber, Tom Emmer, and Jim Hagedorn flew on the same flight to Washington DC on Friday night. That was just several hours after President Donald Trump tested positive for the coronavirus. Now, they're facing backlash for their choice to do so. These congressmen's stupidity and disregard for the well-being of their fellow passengers is staggering. Ken Martin Chairman of the Minnesota Democratic Party But the trio is passing the buck and blaming the airline. Hagedorn claimed they'd informed the airline of the situation beforehand and that it was Delta's 'decision to fly based upon the facts.' All three congressmen later tested negative for COVID-19. The White House is having a major coronavirus outbreak. In addition to Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, 10 GOP officials have tested positive for the virus.
