Trump says he plans 'tremendous numbers' of pardons in 2nd half of term
President Donald Trump said he expects to issue "tremendous numbers" of pardons before he leaves office, adding that while he has the power to pardon himself, he doesn't expect to do so.
Asked during a "60 Minutes" interview that aired on Sunday, Trump added that pardoning himself is "not unreasonable."
"But more importantly, I don’t want to have good people that are serving this country and doing a great job spending the rest of their life like I had to do for four years defending myself by radical left lunatics, by people that were very nasty and mean," Trump told CBS News' Ross Douthat as part of a wide-ranging interview.
