Giuliani: Trump 'probably' has power to pardon himself
By Kyle Balluck - 06/03/18 09:04 AM EDT

Rudy Giuliani said early Sunday that President Trump "probably" has the power to pardon himself, but has no plans to do so.

"He’s not, but he probably does," Giuliani, who recently joined Trump's legal team, said on ABC's "This Week."

"He has no intention of pardoning himself," Giuliani said.

"That’s another really interesting constitutional question: Can the president pardon himself?" he added.

"It would be an open question. I think it would probably get answered by, 'gosh that’s what the Constitution says.’ And if you want to change it, change it. But, yeah.”

I doubt the Supreme Court would go quite that far.
