8:58Now PlayingIn a jaw-dropping moment from a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Peter Welch shreds Donald Trump’s controversial judicial nominee, Chad Meredith, over his role in a deeply disturbing pardon scandal. Welch doesn't hold back—calling out Meredith for dodging questions, downplaying a convicted killer’s early release, and refusing to take a stand on a case that rocked Kentucky politics.
The man at the center of the scandal? Patrick Baker—a man convicted of murder after holding a family at gunpoint and shooting a father in front of his wife and children. Sentenced to 19 years… but mysteriously pardoned after serving just 2½, shortly after his brother raised $21,500 for then-Governor Matt Bevin. Now, Bevin’s former legal counsel—the man who helped resist subpoenas and public scrutiny—is up for a lifetime federal judgeship.
Welch presses for accountability. Meredith gives none.
This isn’t just about one hearing—it’s about the future of the federal bench, the integrity of the pardon system, and the dangerous normalization of political corruption.
If you care about justice, democracy, and holding the powerful accountable, you need to see this.
