[Source.](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/obamas-ag-weighs-whether-biden-should-pardon-trump) > Former Attorney General Eric Holder weighed in on if President Biden or the 2024 presidential winner should potentially pardon former President Donald Trump if he is convicted of federal charges. > "I think I'd I tell the president, the next attorney general, to let the system do its work. Try the cases, see what the results are. And then treat that convicted president, or anybody else who was convicted, as any other person," Holder, who served as AG under the Obama administration, said Sunday on CBS News' "Face the Nation." > Former President Donald Trump was indicted on federal charges last month related to alleged willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. Trump pleaded not guilty and dismissed the charges as a "witch hunt." Trump also pleaded not guilty to state charges in New York in April over accusations of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments made during the 2016 election season. > "Pardons generally are for people who express remorse and then who have done things that shows that they have turned their lives around," Holder continued.
