Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump said over the weekend she was concerned President Joe Biden would set a "bad precedent" by issuing preemptive pardons to people who might be unfairly targeted by President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration.
Appearing Sunday on Fox News, Lara Trump responded to reports that the Biden administration was considering pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riots.
"I think it's rather outrageous," Lara Trump said. "I think it's such a bad precedent being set, if that indeed happens, for the future of this country."
"Why is it that you would need to do blanket pardons like that if no one is guilty of anything?" she asked. "I think it leads people in this country to say, wow, these folks must have done something pretty bad, that they're going to have to go out of their way to get preemptive pardons, things for which they haven't even been charged yet."
"So I really hope we don't see that happen."
In an interview with NBC News on Sunday, the future president said that the Jan. 6 Committee members should "go to jail."
