The U.S. president stated that he has the right to pardon even himself.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would sign a “huge number of pardons” for his aides and advisers as a precautionary measure before he leaves office in January 2029. He made this announcement in an interview with CBS News.
“I intend to issue a huge number of pardons,” he said.
In this way, the White House chief noted, he intends to protect anyone who came even “within 1,000 miles of the Oval Office” from potential legal prosecution by Democrats. According to Trump, he does not want “wonderful people who serve the country and do an excellent job to spend the rest of their lives, as I did, spending four years defending myself against radicals and lunatics.”
A reporter asked Trump if he planned to pardon himself. Trump replied that he saw no need to do so, but acknowledged that it would not be against the law.
Trump’s predecessor—Joe Biden—also pardoned several members of his family before leaving office.
