The 2024 election is already underway, with some states already sending out ballots for mail-in voting.

Former President Donald J Trump keeps figuring out ways to escape criminal liability.

The power of the presidential pardon is a holdover from America’s colonial roots. But no one had used it like former President Trump. Over and over he kept pardoning his allies, and then, he’d welcome them back into the fold. .
