Donald Trump says he can pardon himself!????Amid the ongoing investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 campaign, Trump took to twitter to make his bold statement, saying:????“As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?
In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!,”????Trump’s tweet comes after The New York Times just published a January letter from his lawyers to the U.S.
