In a Newsmax exclusive interview with Rob Finnerty, President Donald Trump made clear he will not stand by while the radical left tries to drag his people through endless legal hell the way they tried to destroy him.
Trump stated bluntly that he did nothing wrong, that he is allowed to issue a self-pardon, and that he has no intention of letting loyal Americans who work for him suffer the same lawfare nightmare he endured.
“I can tell you this: I don’t want to see my people go through years of nonsense,” Trump said. “Because these people are lunatics on the left. I don’t want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense, hire lawyers and everything else — all for nothing.”
He continued: “I did nothing wrong… I’m allowed to do a self-pardon. I’m allowed to pardon… They say it’s the most powerful thing a president has.”
Trump noted he could have pardoned himself on the way out of office the first time but chose not to, because he knew he was innocent. He won those cases the hard way. Now, with the full power of the presidency restored and the Democrats’ playbook fully exposed, he is signaling he will protect those who stand with him.
This is pure Trump: fighting for the people the deep state and weaponized DOJ tried to crush.
