Trump Promises Mass Pardons to Staff [View all]

“President Trump has repeatedly promised his top administration officials pardons before he leaves office,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Trump, in a recent meeting: “I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.”

“That radius appears to be expanding as the president repeats the line. Another person who met with Trump earlier this year said the president quipped about pardoning anyone who had come within 10 feet.”

“In one conversation with advisers in the dining room next to the Oval Office last year, Trump said he would host a news conference and announce mass pardons before he left office.”
