Paterson agrees with Trump that the trial was 'rigged' and highlights erroneous qualities, such as a White House staffer ending up in the Manhattan DA's Office, supporting Trump's claims.
Paterson suggests that although a US president cannot pardon state crimes like Trump's, if possible, Biden should have considered pardoning in this case involving falsifying business records.
Noting Ford's pardon of Nixon, Paterson emphasizes the long-term respect that may come from controversial pardons, indicating that Biden should be cautious and avoid gloating, particularly with Hunter Biden's upcoming trial.
