The State Department is preparing to sharply reduce the number of U.S. diplomatic posts in Africa authorized to process visa applications, consolidating full consular operations into 20 regional hubs across the continent as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to tighten control over immigration.

The changes are expected to take effect in June, according to three U.S. officials and an internal State Department memo. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the policy publicly.

Currently, nearly 50.

Biden is just getting started…

President Joe Biden’s aides are reportedly discussing whether he should preemptively pardon government officials to protect them from potential inquiries or indictments from the incoming Trump administration.

“White House officials … are carefully weighing the extraordinary step of handing out blanket pardons to those who’ve committed no crimes, both because it could suggest impropriety, only fueling Trump’s criticisms, and because those offered preemptive pardons may reject them,” POLITICO reported.

Names mentioned by POLITICO include members of Congress’ Jan. 6 Committee as well as Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.), and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“The beneficiaries know nothing,” one source insisted to POLITICO.

Some Congressional Democrats have rushed Biden Biden to issue the pardons.

Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in November, “I think that without question, Trump is going to try to act in a dictatorial way, in a fascistic way, in a revengeful first year … towards individuals who he believes harmed him. … If it’s clear by January 19th that [revenge] is his intention, then I would recommend to President Biden that he provide those preemptive pardons to people, because that’s really what our country is going to need next year.”

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) said on Wednesday, “This is no hypothetical threat. The time for cautious restraint is over. We must act with urgency to push back against these threats and prevent Trump from abusing his power.”

Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters, “As it relates to pardon- — pardoning or any clemency, the president, as you know, at the end of the year, makes announcements. He’s thinking through that process very thoroughly. There’s a process in place, obviously. And so, once — I’m not going to get ahead of — of the president on this. But you could expect more announcement, more par- — pardons and clemency at the end of — at the end of — at the end of this term.”

“I don’t have a timeline for you. As you know, this usually happens towards the end. And so, the president is going through that process, thinking through that process. I’m not going to get ahead of him. But you can expect more announcements to come.”

On Sunday, President Biden announced his decision to issue a pardon for his son Hunter Biden. (RELATED: Joe Biden Pardons Son, Betraying Previous Promise)

    That’s a TOTAL LIE!!! BYE DONE is trying to protect his CRIME FAMILY by preventing President Trump and the new Attorney General and DOJ from indicting and prosecuting them for high crimes and treason.

    Biden knows who the crooks are. He knows they lied, manipulated the American Public and committed crimes to keep Trump out of the WH. His family which several members participated and bank records confirm were paid via the Pay for Access scheme that He and Hunter flagrantly took millions of dollars from foreign and domestic adversaries. He knows who the crooks are. And each of those crooks are begging for pardons – why? Not because of Trumps seeking revenge, but because they are guilty of crimes they fear will be exposed during Trumps dream team tenure over the next 4 years. Dirty deeds done with confidence that the unthinkable wouldn’t happen. The unthinkable? = transparency.

    BILL

    When old Joe dies they will have to screw him into the ground because he is so crooked.

    Joe Biden has not had the mental acuity for several years to do anything of the sort. It will be the DNC swamp that provides the names for him to read, if he is able
