President Joe Biden was speechless, waving off a Fox News reporter’s question about Donald Trump getting a pardon from Ron DeSantis as President in a new video.
Doocy: Where are you on the idea of presidents pardoning Trump?

According to The Hill, in a recent interview with Mark Levin on Fox News, former President Trump compared himself to former President Nixon, highlighting the support he has received from Congress and his party as he faces ongoing legal battles. Trump reminisced about the lack of support Nixon had during the Watergate scandal, contrasting it with the support he has received from the Republican Party. Trump expressed gratitude for his strong relationships with lawmakers, including Rep. Jim Jordan, and praised the party’s unity, which he believes helped him weather impeachment proceedings.
Trump went on to discuss Nixon’s regret that he did not fight against his resignation during the Watergate scandal, saying he found it interesting. The former president also noted that he believes Nixon was his own worst enemy, a trait that some might attribute to him as well.
Trump’s appearance on Levin’s show was part of his promotion of his new book, “Letters to Trump,” which features messages from notable figures ranging from Oprah Winfrey to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. However, Trump is currently facing legal challenges in New York, where he has been hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in relation to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.
They went over there one evening, Barry Goldwater headed up the delegation and they had some senators and some congressmen and they went over to tell him he’s got to get out and he left the following day or the following morning. And his biggest regret was that he didn’t fight, because it wasn’t really like him. And I find that very interesting.
He was a very tough guy. He was — I guess some people would say this about me too — he was his own worst enemy,” Trump said of Nixon. “I mean, I can say that a little bit about myself, much less so than people think, I will say.”
As a 2024 presidential candidate, Trump is the first sitting or former U.S. president to face criminal charges. He is also the subject of ongoing special counsel probes by the Justice Department into his handling of classified materials and attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, as well as a district attorney probe in Georgia into election interference attempts in the state.
