Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said this week that Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene 's alleged request for a pardon from then-President Donald Trump is an "admission of guilt." The House of Representatives' Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots named Greene among a number of Republican lawmakers who allegedly sought pardons last year.
