From New York, this is Democracy Now.

From a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that the president would end up

pardoning his son? No. I just said no. I just answered. Go ahead. President Biden's

issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son Hunter after he in the White House repeatedly insisted a pardon would not be

issued. We'll speak with Medi Hassan of Zateo about Biden's pardon as well as Trump's latest

transition picks, including his in-law, Charles Kushner, who Trump pardoned four years ago

after he served time for tax evasion.

Trump has also picked Cash Patel to head the FBI.

The ultra-Trump loyalists has threatened to go after the media.

We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media.

Yes, we're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens,

who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.

We're going to come after you.

Whether it's criminally or civilly, we'll figure that out.

But yeah, we're putting you all on notice.

We'll also look at the surprise rebel offensive in Aleppo, Syria.

And remember, Mahmoud Ahmad Hun, the co-founder of the Gaza Soup Kitchen.

He was killed in an Israeli drone strike on Saturday.

We'll speak to his brother Henny, the director of philanthropy at Unruwa, USA.

All that and more coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.org, Warpeace in the presidency.

I'm Amy Goodman.
