“While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us.FAKE NEWS,” Trump said Saturday.

The president has previously dismissed the investigation into Russia’s election meddling and any potential ties between Trump campaign staff members and Russia associated as a “witch hunt.”

“Pardons have not been discussed. Pardons are not on the table,” Sekulow stressed during his television appearance on Sunday.

But Sekulow said a court would have to decide if the president could grant himself a pardon, noting the issue has never been adjudicated.

“We’re not researching the issue because the issue of pardons is not on the table. There’s nothing to pardon from,” Sekulow said.
