Republicans are taking on the recipients of President Joe Biden's preemptive pardons, issued on the same day he will leave office. Among those targeted is Rep. Jamie Raskin, who was part of the House committee that investigated President-elect Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
In that context, Republicans in the House Oversight Committee brought back a clip from Raskin saying that "the seeking of pardons is powerful demonstration of the consciousness of guilt, or at least the consciousness that you may be in trouble." It is unclear whether Raskin actively sought a pardon from Biden.
