President Donald Trump is not expected to pardon himself or members of his family when he issues around 100 pardons before leaving office this week.
Multiple news outlets reported on Monday that Trump is expected to issue about 100 pardons for people, including white collar criminals and at least one high-profile rapper.
Although Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani is not at the moment going to be part of his impeachment defense efforts, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman warns that could change.
In a report published on Monday, Haberman writes that Giuliani "will not be taking part in the president's defense in the Senate trial for his second impeachment," in part because many Trump advisers blame him for both of the president's impeachments.
Conservative Republican Olivia Troye, a former national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, sent shock waves through her party when — during the 2020 presidential election — she distanced herself from the Trump Administration and came out strongly in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden. And Troye, a frequent guest on MSNBC, slammed Trump Republicans as a national security threat during an appearance on Univision's Spanish-language news program, "Al Punto."
Troye's "Al Punto" appearance, which aired on January 17, came a week and a half after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building. Speaking in fluent Spanish, the 44-year-old El Paso native stressed that the United States is facing a dangerous insurrection and denounced pro-Trump Republicans as favoring President Donald Trump's interests over the country's national security interests.
