Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow appears to deny the story that Trump is looking into pardoning himself and his aides and his family.
Watch below:

Sekulow says that pardons have not been spoken about with the president, but this is yet another case of Trump apparently tweeting himself into legal trouble:
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

Who are the “all” that agree? Hmm…
