"The last thing I'd ever do is give myself a pardon."

"Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, it would seem that the question should be answered in the negative."

Trump "would have no ability to pardon himself by law [because his case is not subject to a federal pardon]."

"He [Trump] absolutely cannot pardon himself."

"The answer has to be no."

Trump "could very well attempt to self-pardon, but it's entirely unclear how that would turn out."

There is every indication from Trump that he "more likely will pardon himself."

"[I]t becomes much likelier that, for the first time since the Constitution was ratified in 1789, a president will issue a pardon to himself, or at least try to."

Will Trump Pardon Himself?

It was announced over the weekend that U.S. President Donald Trump has issued pardons for 77 individuals connected to efforts challenging the 2020 election results, including former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, former chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorneys Sidney Powell and John Eastman.

Justice Department (DOJ) Pardon Attorney Ed Martin announced the clemency action through social media Sunday evening, posting a proclamation that described the prosecutions as a "grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people."

The pardons cover conduct relating to alternative slates of presidential electors and efforts to expose voting fraud in connection with the 2020 election. But the proclamation explicitly states it does not apply to Trump.

None of the pardoned individuals faced federal criminal charges related to the 2020 election, making the pre-emptive pardons largely symbolic since presidential clemency only applies to federal offenses and not state prosecutions.

Several pardoned individuals — including Giuliani, Powell and others — were involved in submitting names of alternative electors from states where Trump alleged fraud occurred. Some are facing ongoing state prosecutions in Arizona and Wisconsin.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the pardons by stating that the individuals "great Americans" who were "persecuted and put through hell by the Biden administration" for challenging election results.
