This comes amid concerns about the potential for political targeting in the upcoming term of President-elect Trump.
According to The Hill, during an appearance on "The View," Bill Clinton was asked by host Sunny Hostin about the wisdom of President Biden issuing preemptive pardons for potential targets, including Hillary Clinton. "I think if President Biden wanted to talk to me about that, I will talk to him about it, but I don’t think I should be giving public advice on the pardon power,” Bill Clinton responded. He added, “It’s a very personal thing, but … I hope [Trump] won’t do that.”

The possibility of using the pardon power to shield critics of Trump, who may be in the crosshairs of the next administration, has been a topic of discussion among Biden's senior team. Hillary Clinton, a long-standing figure on Trump's radar since her 2016 election loss to him, has been mentioned in these discussions. Bill Clinton defended his wife, stating that Trump and his allies' issue with her stems from the 2016 election, despite her not having done anything wrong.

“They’ve got a problem with her because first, she didn’t do anything wrong. Second, she followed the rules exactly as they were written. Third … remember how the emails were such a big issue in 2016? Trump’s State Department found that Hillary sent and received exactly zero classified emails on her personal device. It was a made-up phone story,” he said.

In a separate interview, Bill Clinton attributed the loss of his wife's 2016 presidential bid to the "mainstream media" coverage of her email controversy. This highlights the ongoing debate about the role of media in shaping public opinion and its potential impact on political outcomes.
