SCARAMUCCI: TRUMP HAS NO NEED TO PARDON HIMSELF

Hitting the Sunday shows to promote his boss, the new leader of President Trump’s revamped communications team said Trump has no need to pardon himself or any associates because they have done nothing wrong regarding Russia.

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, speaking two days after his appointment, vowed to change the White House public relations approach, telling Fox News Sunday that Trump is “one of the most effective communicators that’s ever been born. And we’re going to make sure that we get that message out directly to the American people.”

During various network appearances, Scaramucci and other officials also said Trump reserves the right to raise conflict of interest claims against Russia special counsel Robert Mueller, should it become necessary. Trump and aides have complained that lawyers on Mueller’s team have made contributions to 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
