Trump mulling self-pardon, sources say
Trump has suggested to advisers that he wants to grant himself a pardon before leaving office, sources familiar with the discussions told ABC News.
The conversations with top aides have happened in recent weeks.
It's not clear if the issue has been discussed between the president and his advisers since the riots on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
However, following the riots Trump's White House Counsel, Pat Cipollone, advised the president that he could face legal jeopardy for encouraging his supporters to storm the Capitol building, according to sources familiar with their discussions.
If a self-pardon happens, it's unclear when it would be announced. Trump is already expected to issue several pardons over the next two weeks.
