The Economist: Checks and Balance newsletter: Trump revives McKinley’s imperial legacy

Additionally, Trump's pardon of Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road, raises questions about the misuse of presidential clemency, a concern shared with Joe Biden's controversial pardons.

Fox News: REP. JAMES COMER: Biden family pardons a confession to selling out America
President Biden's preemptive pardons for family members, following his son's pardon, are viewed as an admission of guilt regarding alleged influence-peddling schemes. The House Oversight Committee's investigation revealed over $30 million in payments to the Biden family from foreign entities, suggesting they sold access to Biden's influence.
Despite evidence of wrongdoing, Biden maintains he was unaware of his family's business dealings. Critics, including former Obama officials, argue these pardons indicate serious concerns about the Biden family's actions, with claims that Biden abused his office for personal gain.
