Kamala Harris Was Asked If She'd Pardon Trump. Here's How She Dodged The Question.
HuffPost
The vice president refused "to get into those hypotheticals" during an interview with NBC News.
Kamala Harris didn’t dismiss pardoning Donald Trump if elected president during an interview with NBC News but tried to shut down the line of questioning.
The former president is awaiting sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after being found guilty in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial.
He also faces legal entanglements after allegedly stealing classified documents (though that case is under appeal), his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and the currently paused election crimes case in Fulton County, Georgia.
If Trump loses the election, he could be spending more time in courtrooms and jail cells than his Mar-A-Lago home, so NBC News correspondent Hallie Jackson wondered if Harris might actually pardon the former president.
“Would you consider, if you win and he’s convicted, a pardon for former President Trump?” Jackson asked during the interview that aired Tuesday.
