Yes, the last president pardoned himself and his family on his way out.

I’m not sure if that has precedent. It’s unusual to grant a pardon before a case is brought to court.

In any event, my point was all presidents who grant pardons grant them to people convicted of a crime; it’s not a recent development. But that was framed as being upsetting precedent.
