GOP Candidates Asked if They Would Pardon Trump – Here’s Where They Stand
Several Republican presidential candidates have been asked whether they would pardon former President Donald Trump after the Justice Department’s indictment of him.
On Tuesday, Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 federal charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents after he left the White House.
The case could potentially put Trump behind bars for the rest of his life — adding another layer to the executive branch’s already unprecedented decision to go after a former president.
GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has been a vocal opponent of that decision and has asked others in the race to pledge to pardon Trump in the event that they win the nomination and later the general election.
