Earlier this week, the public learned about the arrest of a Jan. 6 rioter who allegedly threatened to assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, after he was freed from prison in January thanks to a pardon from Donald Trump. Two days later, in response to a reporter’s question, the president commented on the matter for the first time.
“You have thousands of people that we’re dealing with and, you know, if one goes haywire...,” Trump said, before changing the subject midsentence. He seemed to imply that only one of the beneficiaries of his Jan. 6 pardons has landed in legal trouble, though reality proves otherwise.
But as part of the same Q&A at Thursday’s White House event, the president was asked about a different scandalous pardon: his support for Changpeng Zhao, who helped finance the president’s stablecoin and put money in the Trump family’s pockets.
Trump initially suggested he didn’t know who the Binance founder was. “I do pardon a lot of people,” the Republican said. He couldn’t explain his own actions from hours earlier.
This wasn’t the first time. In March, after Trump pardoned one of his donors, he was pressed for an explanation. He again appeared clueless: “They” told him that the criminal had been treated unfairly
in July, a reporter noted the Trump administration had paused a shipment of military aid intended for Ukraine a week earlier. Asked who approved this, the president replied, “I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?”
“Meet the Press,” and when host Kristen Welker asked whether everyone in the United States is entitled to due process, the president replied, “I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know.”

(pssssst!)(rachel), (I hear he also has a tattoo of a nazi symbol on his chest that he’s had for 18 years but didn’t know it was a nazi symbol until a video came out of him lip-syncing to a miley cyrus song while wearing only his shorts at a wedding reception and somebody recognized the symbol)
So what.
Maddie completely uninterested in Biden Crime Family….
But he was drunk!
Is a foreign terrorist in America entitled to due process?
Are enemy combatants in the US entitled to due process?
Oh, yeah. And carousing. You know how carousing Marines do. They carouse and wake up with nazi symbols tattoo’d on their chests.
I feel like demonicRATS and the Fake News Media are always playing Calvinball. The rules are constantly changing.
>>But he was drunk!<<
President Trump does not drink alcohol, sir.
We are making fun of that Maine guy.
Very confusing title, matched with very confusing content. Someone needs a refresher course in writing.
Kristen Welker isn't bright enough to know what "due process" is - she's a talking face on the TeeVee.
Interesting that suddenly democrats are now worried about someone threatening to assassinate political opponents.
Shouldn’t they all be jailed then?????????
You can’t assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem, just get him a ticket to Canada and give him this phone number “988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline”.
Hakeem has been and is now to stupid to live.
Lets start a ‘go fund the idiot’ and get him a one way ticket to euthanasia vile.
It will put him out of his misery and ours.
"B***h! That's my nickname!"
