唐纳德·特朗普总统表示，他预计在离任前将发布“大量”赦免令，并补充说，虽然他有权赦免自己，但他不希望这样做。
在周日播出的“60分钟”采访中被问及此事时，特朗普补充说，赦免自己“并非不合理”。
“但更重要的是，我不想让优秀的人为这个国家服务，并做好工作，像我一样花四年时间为激进的左翼疯子和非常肮脏和卑鄙的人辩护，”特朗普在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻频道（CBS News）的罗斯·杜特采访时表示。
他补充说，他打算“发布大量赦免令”，可能包括赦免那些在他任期内“进入椭圆形办公室一千英里以内”的人。
特朗普的前任乔·拜登总统在2025年总统任期的最后几天发布了几项赦免令。这些先发制人的赦免包括近亲，但不包括总统本人。
拜登当时在一份声明中写道：“我的家人一直受到无情的攻击和威胁，唯一的动机就是想要伤害我——这是最糟糕的党派政治。”。“不幸的是，我没有理由相信这些袭击会结束。”
拜登还先发制人地赦免了他的政府中的几名高级成员，包括安东尼福奇博士，退休将军马克米利和众议院1月6日委员会的议员。
特朗普在他的第二个任期早期建议拜登也应该赦免自己。
“这家伙到处给每个人赦免。你知道，有趣的是，也许可悲的是，他没有给自己一个赦免，”特朗普当时说，但没有详细说明他的前任可能犯下了什么罪行。
2024年，最高法院在特朗普诉美国一案中的裁决授予特朗普免受起诉的全面豁免权。这一决定将适用于包括拜登在内的所有美国总统。
随着特朗普再次上任，他对2021年1月6日袭击美国国会大厦的被告发布了一系列广泛的赦免令，对14人减刑，并“对所有其他被判犯有与2021年1月6日在美国国会大厦或附近发生的事件有关的罪行的人给予完全、彻底和无条件的赦免。”
他当时说，大约有1500人将被赦免。
在周日播出的“60分钟”采访中，总统为他对暴徒的赦免进行了辩护，其中一些暴徒袭击了执法部门。
“我认为这很不公平。我赦免了J-6。特朗普说：“我认为没有哪个群体受到的待遇比他们更不公平，直到今天，当他们看到我时，他们会哭。”。
当被问及他是否指的是那些袭击警察的人时，他说：“有些人变得粗暴，但你知道，他们对他们也很粗暴。”
Trump says he plans ＇tremendous numbers＇ of pardons in 2nd half of term
President Donald Trump said he expects to issue ＂tremendous numbers＂ of pardons before he leaves office， adding that while he has the power to pardon himself， he doesn＇t expect to do so．
Asked during a ＂60 Minutes＂ interview that aired on Sunday， Trump added that pardoning himself is ＂not unreasonable．＂
＂But more importantly， I don’t want to have good people that are serving this country and doing a great job spending the rest of their life like I had to do for four years defending myself by radical left lunatics， by people that were very nasty and mean，＂ Trump told CBS News＇ Ross Douthat as part of a wide-ranging interview．
He added that he intends ＂to issue tremendous numbers of pardons，＂ possibly including pardons for those who ＂got within a thousand miles of the Oval Office＂ during his term．
Trump＇s predecessor， President Joe Biden， issued several pardons in 2025 in the final days of his presidency． Those preemptive pardons included close family members， although they did not include the president himself．
＂My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats， motivated solely by a desire to hurt me -- the worst kind of partisan politics，＂ Biden wrote ina statementat the time．＂Unfortunately， I have no reason to believe these attacks will end．＂
Biden alsopreemptively pardonedseveral senior members of his administration， including Dr． Anthony Fauci， retired Gen． Mark Milley and lawmakers who served on the House Jan． 6 Committee．
Trumpsuggestedearly during his second term that Biden should have also pardoned himself．
＂This guy went around giving everybody pardons． And you know， the funny thing， maybe the sad thing， is he didn’t give himself a pardon，＂ Trump said at the time， without giving specifics on what crimes his predecessor could have committed．
In 2024， the Supreme Court decision in Trump vs． US granted Trump sweeping immunity from prosecution． The decision would apply to all U．S． presidents， including Biden．
As Trump again entered office he issued a sweeping series of pardons for defendants charged in the Jan． 6， 2021，attack on the U．S． Capitol， commuting the sentences of 14 individuals and offering a “a full， complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6， 2021．＂
About 1，500 people were to be pardoned， he said at the time．
The president in the ＂60 Minutes＂ interview that aired on Sunday defended his pardons for the rioters， some of whom attacked law enforcement．
＂I think it＇s very unfair． I pardoned the J-6s． I don＇t think any group’s been treated more unfairly than them， and and to this day when they see me， they cry，＂ Trump said．
Asked if he meant that even about the ones who attacked police， he said： ＂There was some that got rough， but you know， they were rough to them， too．＂
