From Washington to Trump: Explaining the Evolution of the Presidential Pardon

Season 2025 Episode 8055 | 17m 39s

The presidential pardon is a clause in the Constitution. With 11 elected American officials having received clemency from President Trump this year, is this power being misused? Professor Sai Prakash speaks to Walter Isaacson about the issue, which is detailed in his new book, "The Presidential Pardon: The Short Clause with a Long, Troubled History."
