Constitutional Expert: Jan. 6 Pardons “Most Shameful” in Presidential History

Season 2025 Episode 7148 | 18m 22s

Among those included in President Trump’s January 6th pardons is the founder of the dark web criminal marketplace Silk Road, who was serving a life sentence. Conservative lawyer Paul Rosenzweig calls this "one of the most shameful acts" ever committed by a U.S. President. Rosenzweig explains to Michel Martin how Trump's action differs from Biden's 11th-hour preemptive pardons.
