39% : "Trump cannot void a prior president's pardons," Frank Bowman, of the University of Missouri's School of Law, who has written about the presidential pardon, told AFP.

1% : In his last days in office, Biden, now 82, issued pardons for people targeted by Trump -- including Biden's own son, lawmakers who probed Trump, a military general who had criticized Trump and the country's top Covid expert.
