Barrett Won’t Rule Out Trump Pardon of Himself
October 14, 2020 at 10:58 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
At her Senate confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett would not say whether she believed President Trump should be able to pardon himself as president.
Barrett said that question had never been litigated and thus called for “legal analysis” about the scope of the pardon power.
