Abuse of the Pardon Prevention Act of 2024

The Abuse of the Pardon Prevention Act of 2024 requires the Justice Department's Inspector General to investigate any presidential pardon for a crime related to an investigation involving the President or their relative. It mandates that the President and Attorney General submit all relevant materials to the Inspector General and Congress within 30 days of the pardon. The bill also amends bribery law to include pardons as a potential bribe and explicitly prohibits the President from pardoning themselves, stating such a pardon is invalid. These provisions aim to increase transparency and accountability in the pardon process for specific cases.
