Whitmer: Trump said he would not pardon men
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says President Donald Trump would be going back on his word to her if he pardoned two men who are serving prison sentences for leading a 2020 plot to kidnap her. The Democrat told Michigan Public Radio on Thursday that Trump asked her about a month ago how she would feel if he pardoned the two men. Whitmer says she told Trump “I think it would be the wrong decision.” She says Trump told her, “OK, I’ll drop it.'” Whitmer recounted the conversation one day after Trump said he was considering a pardon for the men.
