Introductory Statement on S. 5212

Senator Schumer introduced S. 5212, the No Payoffs for Pardons Act, with Senators Blumenthal, Hirono, Cortez Masto, and Schiff. The bill aims to stop presidents from selling pardons by making clear that federal bribery laws apply to the president and requiring anyone who receives a pardon to report any money they paid to get it. Schumer said the bill responds to President Trump’s use of pardons for personal gain. This was an introductory statement, and no other debate statements were sampled.Written by AI from the debate.
