NYT: Trump has discussed pardoning himself

US President Donald Trump has said he is considering pardoning himself in discussions with aides since the November election, the New York Times reported.   The newspaper cited two unidentified people with knowledge of the discussions.

"In several conversations since Election Day, Mr. Trump has told advisers that he is considering giving himself a pardon and, in other instances, asked whether he should and what the effect would be on him legally and politically," the Times reported.

The newspaper said it was not clear whether he had discussed the matter since the storming of the US Capitol by his supporters on Wednesday.
