Kellyanne Conway is out hawking a book. In an article in the Washington Post by Ashley Parker (like below), we learned that Donald Trump offered Conway an unsolicited blanket pardon. This leads to the reasons inference that, if Trump offered HER a pardon, he almost certainly gave pardons to others - Don Jr., Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Rudy Giuliani and likely others. In some new reporting by Hugo Lowell of the Guardian (link below), it appears that Giuliani did not invoke his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination during his nine hours of testimony before the House select committee investigating the insurrection. The Conway revelation sheds some light on why Giuliani may have felt comfortable testifying before the House select committee apparently WITHOUT invoking his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. This extended Justice Matters video discusses the intersection of the presidential pardon power, the constitutional right against self-incrimination and how a pardon can impact a witnesses decision whether to testify or not impacts the legal options a witness has when called to testify. This video also goes through the ins and out of presidential pardons - what we know about them and what questions can not be answered definitively because the questions have never been presented to a court.
