Rumors are circulating on social media that President Donald Trump did not actually pardon Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who was sentenced to 14 years in prison for federal corruption.

On his way out the door in January, then-President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned five of his own relatives, along with several former federal officials and the members of the House select committee that investigated the 2021 riot at the U.

President Donald Trump claimed Monday that preemptive pardons granted by former President Joe Biden to members of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol are not valid.
