"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?

Rep. Jamie Raskin criticized Jordan for demanding a closed-door session, arguing that Republicans will spin, distort and cherry-pick Smith's remarks through press leaks rather than allowing the American people to hear directly from the Special Counsel.

Smith led two federal prosecutions of Trump, one examining alleged mishandling of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago and another probing alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, with both cases dismissed before Trump took office in January.
