Sen. Lindsey Graham warns President Trump against pardoning any associates convicted during the Mueller investigation.
A close ally says President Donald Trump felt a sense of relief after learning special counsel Robert Mueller’s report had cleared him of conspiring with the Russian government.
Graham says that on the flight home Trump conveyed a “sense of relief” that there was now the “legitimacy” of his presidency where there had been questions before. The South Carolina Republican, who spent the weekend with Trump, told reporters on Monday that “if President Trump pardoned anybody in his orbit, it would not play well.”He’s referring to figures such as Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman. Manafort has been convicted in Washington and Virginia of crimes related to years of Ukrainian political consulting work.
