- 6 years ago
President Trump on Tuesday snapped at a reporter for asking about a possible Michael Cohen pardon.
President Trump on Tuesday swiftly dismissed a reporter's question about a potential pardon for his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, reports the Guardian. The inquiry was made during Trump's meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. Jonathan Karl of ABC News had specifically asked, "Are you considering a pardon for Michael Cohen?" Trump called it a "stupid question" and moved along. Cohen has been a topic of much discussion since the April 9 FBI raid on his office, home, and hotel room. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has also been asked to comment on the possibility of a presidential pardon. "I don't think that we are going to talk about hypotheticals that don't exist right now," she told reporters on Monday.
