Former federal prosecutor turned legal analyst Glenn Kirschner has warned against Donald Trump’s future plan to evade the law. The expert says Trump may use a presidential pardon to protect himself and his allies from getting prosecuted.

The 79-year-old president is highly likely to prevent legal scrutiny the same way Joe Biden did. Trump himself criticized his predecessor for using a presidential pardon, but that may also be his plan when the time comes.

Biden pardoned Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, several members of the House Select Committee, and his son, Hunter Biden. Amid the autopen controversy, the new administration claimed the pardons were void. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Anyone receiving ‘Pardons,’ ‘Commutations,’ or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect.”

However, he has no authority to overturn Biden’s pardons, according to legal experts and constitutional law. Kirschner, who is the founder of the podcast Justice Matters, spoke about the challenge that would follow if Trump pardons his allies.

He told Daily Beast, “And then you know what our challenge will be, and I hope we’re up to the challenge. We have to go into court, and we have to fight corruptly delivered pardons.”

Kirschner also cited Bill Barr’s testimony, “Even Bill Barr—and I almost never cite him as authority for any proposition—even Bill Barr testified, when asked, testified before Congress that if Donald Trump delivered a pardon to somebody who was covering up evidence of wrongdoing by Donald Trump.”

He said this would be “impermissible use of the pardon power.” Several Trump administration members may receive a pardon from Trump. For instance, Kristi Noem, who was recently reassigned after being removed as DHS secretary, may get legal immunity.

Noem may need legal protection after she allegedly perjured herself during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Attorney General Pam Bondi may also receive a pardon to avoid prosecution for handling the Jeffrey Epstein case.

She’s been accused of hiding documents to protect Trump.

Despite warnings about the pardons, Kirschner said prosecutors could still take these cases to court and challenge them. He further added, “And if the courts—trial court, court of appeals, and the Supreme Court—all say no, a president can buy a co-conspirator’s silence by delivering a presidential pardon, then we continue to move in the direction of the end of our republic. Because that is not what the pardon power ought to be able to do.”
