President Trump on Monday is expected to give Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, according to someone familiar with the plans.

Nunes is a close ally of the president, and one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in his quest to undermine the Justice Department’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

During an interview with “Fox & Friends” in October 2018, Trump criticized the investigation of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and praised Nunes, then the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who had repeatedly accused FBI and Justice Department investigators of being biased against Trump. In the Fox News interview, Trump initially — and incorrectly — called for Nunes to receive the Medal of Honor, which is awarded for acts of military valor, before correcting himself and suggesting that Nunes receive the Medal of Freedom.

“What he’s gone through, and his bravery, he should get a very important medal,” Trump said.

9. biden should revoke them

there is technically nothing to stop a president from revoking the medal. i know Obama said there was no precedent for it (concerning bill cosby) but trump has already broken so many norms revoking it shouldnt be a problem

Wikipedia entry, 2050: "The Medal of Freedom was retired in 2020 after U.S. President Donald Trump renamed it the 'Fuck You Medal' and gave it to two congressmen, three colonels in the Russian GRU, the head of the Gambino crime family, a rabid bat, and a toxic dump site."
