Kinzinger Challenges Trump Over Biden Pardon Dispute

Adam Kinzinger dismisses Trump’s claim that Biden’s pardons are void, urging legal action and intensifying their public feud.

Donald Trump declared that preemptive pardons issued by Joe Biden, including those for January 6 Select Committee members, are invalid due to their use of an autopen and Biden's alleged lack of awareness.
Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman and January 6 committee member, dismissed Trump’s claims and challenged him to bring charges, asserting they would prevail in court.
Kinzinger criticized Trump’s focus on the January 6 committee, accusing him of using the pardon controversy as a distraction and mocking him in a social media video.
The White House has not issued a formal response to Trump’s assertions, though it reportedly sought to downplay the claims without explicitly refuting them.
Kinzinger has reiterated that he did not request or want a pardon, previously stating that accepting one implies guilt.
