Former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday said that if he is elected president, he would not pardon President Trump from any possible charges he may face as the president faces an impeachment inquiry focused on his dealings with Ukraine.
Biden told Radio Iowa that he wouldn't follow the example of Former President Gerald Ford, who pardoned his predecessor President Nixon so Nixon wasn't prosecuted for his role in the Watergate scandal.
“It wouldn’t unite the country,†Biden said. “You’d say: ‘Wait a minute. I get a parking ticket and I’ve got to pay it. This happens to me and I’ve got to go to jail. This guy does all these things that put us jeopardy and he gets off? I think this is of a different nature."
"I think President Ford, God love him he’s a good guy, I knew him pretty well, I think if he had to do it over again he wouldn’t have done it ... because he didn’t get reelected,†he added.
