President Joe Biden gave a wide-ranging interview to USA Today on Jan. 5, just weeks before he will pass the torch to President-elect Donald Trump on Inauguration Day.

Biden sat down in the Oval Office with USA Today’s Washington Bureau chief Susan Page in what is his final print interview before the end of his administration in just under two weeks. He spoke about his concerns over the next Trump administration, how he wants to be remembered as president, potential preemptive pardons for his successor’s political foes, and his thoughts about pardoning his son Hunter.
