According to The Hill, the mogul could issue preventive pardons for himself, and his children Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. It is estimated that they could be accused of using their position in the White House to benefit their personal businesses and those of the Trump Organization. The outgoing president is also being investigated for his attempts to intimidate Georgia electoral authorities.

It has been speculated that Trump would also give preemptive pardons to Rudy Giuliani and Stephen Bannon. The latter was accused of appropriating money that was donated for the construction of the border wall.

Trump has already commuted the personality sentences involved with Russian interference in the 2016 election as Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Georgia Papadopoulos and Alex van der Zwaan.

Republican congressmen Duncan Hunter, Chris Collins and Steve Stockman, all three convicted of corruption, were also pardoned.
