Trump's Pardon Power Sparks Controversy in Atlanta Legal Community Amid Concerns of Justice System Erosion

• Share on:

President Donald Trump's extensive use of his pardon power, particularly in cases involving individuals with political connections, has raised concerns among Atlanta attorneys about the potential erosion of trust in the justice system. Critics argue that Trump's pardons, including those for Todd and Julie Chrisley, appear to favor friends and allies, undermining the principle of equal justice under the law. Legal experts warn that such practices could deter federal prosecutors and investigators, leading to a crisis in law enforcement recruitment and retention.
