CNN legal commentator Jeffrey Toobin sits down with Molly Jong-Fast to discuss one of the most controversial presidential pardons in American history—Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon—and its profound implications for our current political landscape. Ford’s decision to pardon Nixon was widely criticized at the time, yet it has since been reevaluated as a healing gesture for a divided country. Toobin and Jong-Fast discuss this unsettling precedent and its potential effect on Trump’s presidency.
