In the Washington Sun, it's titled White House is weighing mass pardons for junior staff.
CoreyHOST

While President Donald Trump has publicly discussed issuing pardons for top aides and has issued pardons for billionaires and major donors, questions have mounted about the potential legal jeopardy facing thousands of employees who have implemented the White House's agenda.

Several conservative organizations influential with the administration, including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment, have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits, according to the two sources familiar with the conversations.

Mike Davis, a prominent Trump supporter and president of the Article 3 Project, an advocacy group that fights legal cases for the right, also said he plans to press the White House for action.

39:09
So distracting and talking about what Elon Musk is doing when there are hundreds of millions of dollars going into all of these campaigns throughout the country, it might not be the best argument.
Jasmine WrightPANELIST
39:19
Yeah, and that quote came from an article from my colleague Emma Ruby, which is fantastic.
Jasmine WrightPANELIST
39:22
Everyone should go read it on the Washington Sun.
Jasmine WrightPANELIST
39:24
