Senator-elect Adam Schiff is back in the spotlight this week after President Joe Biden went back on his word and pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, over remarks the California Democrat made about such pardons.
The president issued the pardon late Sunday, which included any and all criminal activities his son allegedly engaged in dating back to 2014. The pardon came after House Republicans said they discovered evidence Hunter Biden and his president father engaged in legally questionable activities dating back to their mutual involvement in Ukraine during the Obama administration.
In a 2018 interview with then-CNN host Don Lemon, Schiff said he was set to propose a bill that would require investigative files to be turned over to Congress if a president pardons anyone who is currently a subject of a congressional inquiry.
“Yeah. So [then-President Donald Trump’s] pardon of Scooter Libby, congressman, has inspired you to propose new legislation. What exactly will it do?”
