Introductory Statement on S. 5212

Official Congressional Record ↗
“I don't like Trump. Trump is bad. He pardons people I don't like. Our bill will stop him. No more payoffs for pardons. Trump only cares about money. He helps criminals and his cronies. Our bill will make sure the President follows the law. Pardons should not be for sale.”
