Legal experts warn that President-elect Donald Trump's failed legal battles to block a special counsel report and his sentencing for a felony conviction highlight his disregard for the rule of law and attempts to rewrite history. His pledge to pardon participants in the January 6 Capitol assault has raised concerns about the abuse of power and the potential undermining of the criminal justice system. Critics warn that such pardons would signal impunity for political violence and damage the integrity of future prosecutions. Former prosecutors argue that Trump's actions underscore his disdain for the rule of law and his desire to rewrite history.
