Trump won't rule out a "huge number" of pardons for supporters before he leaves office.
This is necessary to save the Republicans from prosecution by the Democrats. In an interview with CBS, the US president added that he does not want the people who served the country for four years on his team to "spend the rest of their lives defending themselves from left-wing lunatics."
Donald Trump also said he does not plan to pardon himself before leaving office, although he has the right to do so.
