Trump Says He Will Issue 'Tremendous Numbers of Pardons' Before Leaving Office; Rules Out Pardons for James Comey and Nancy Pelosi
President Donald Trump said in a CBS 60 Minutes interview that he intends to issue "tremendous numbers of pardons" before leaving office, to protect people in his administration. He said he does not expect to pardon himself, though he believes he has the power to do so.
Asked whether he would pardon former FBI Director James Comey and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Trump ruled both out.
Trump also defended his pardons of January 6 Capitol riot participants, saying some of those he pardoned still tear up when they see him.
The same interview previously made news when Trump demanded that Israel and other U.S.-protected countries repay the full cost of America's war on Iran.
