President Donald Trump delivered a series of remarks during his visit to federal law enforcement officers in Washington, D.C., where he engaged with local and federal police amid efforts to address crime in the city. Trump opened with a humorous warning, telling officers, "You’ve got to be very careful. You don’t want to slip or fall like somebody else I know," eliciting laughter from the assembled personnel. In subsequent comments, Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s use of presidential pardons, referring to them as part of an "autopen scam." He asserted that many of the pardons granted by Biden were to "very bad people, very unpatriotic people, very evil people," and suggested that the pardons appeared "worthless" because Biden was unaware of their issuance, implying a lack of direct involvement. These remarks underscore ongoing political tensions surrounding the use of presidential pardons and highlight Trump’s continued engagement with law enforcement and critique of the Biden administration.
