Benesch Of Counsel Joan Meyer Quoted in Politifact Article on Presidential Pardons

December 20, 2024

Joan E. Meyer, Of Counsel at Benesch, was quoted in a recent Politifact article discussing President Biden’s commitment to preventing White House interference in federal investigations.

Meyer commented on the evolving process of presidential pardons, stating, “Years ago, the White House would not extend pardons without a thorough vetting by an assigned pardon attorney at the Justice Department. That procedure appears to have been abandoned. Today’s presidential pardons are haphazard, political and done without any assessment of how it damages the justice system.”

Her comments underscore concerns about the impact of these changes on the justice system’s integrity.
