Trumps lawyers deny president plans to pardon himself

A developing story!

According to multiple news sources, including CNN, NBC News, and The New York Times, President Trump's lawyers have denied reports that the President is planning to pardon himself in connection with the ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential obstruction of justice.

The denial comes after a report by The New York Times on Sunday suggested that Trump's lawyers had discussed the possibility of a self-pardon with the President, citing sources familiar with the matter.

In a statement, Trump's personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said: "The President has not and will not pardon himself. The President has not and will not pardon anyone involved in the investigation."

The statement also emphasized that the President has not and will not pardon anyone involved in the investigation, which is being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

It's worth noting that while a President has the constitutional power to pardon individuals for federal crimes, there is no precedent for a President pardoning themselves. Many legal experts have argued that a self-pardon would be unconstitutional and potentially lead to impeachment.

The denial from Trump's lawyers comes as the President faces increasing scrutiny over his alleged attempts to interfere with the investigation, including his firing of FBI Director James Comey and his public attacks on Mueller and the Justice Department.

The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how it will ultimately unfold.
