Trump: ‘The Funny Thing, Maybe the Sad Thing, Is He [Biden] Did Not Give Himself a Pardon’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "He thought — he heard that I was going to do it. I never wanted to do it. I was given the option, they said, 'Sir, would you like to pardon everyone, including yourself?' I said, 'I'm not going to pardon anybody. We didn't do anything wrong.' And we had people that suffered, they're incredible patriots, we had people that suffered. You had Bannon put in jail. You had Peter Navarro put in jail. You had people that suffered and far worse than that, they have lost their fortunes, they've lost their whatever, their nest egg, paying it to lawyers, and those people — people said — and they would not have even taken. Most of those people, they would not have even taken a pardon. This guy went around giving everybody pardons. And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he did not give himself a pardon. And if you look at it, it all had to do with him. I mean, the money went to him."

HANNITY: "Should Congress investigate that?"

TRUMP: "Well, I don’t know."

HANNITY: "Will you order the DoJ?"

TRUMP: "I've always been — look, he didn’t give himself a pardon, and he did not give some other people a pardon that needed it.”
