Hillary Clinton on Trump saying he’s unlikely to pardon himself: ‘I don’t believe him’ 

In an interview set to air Sunday, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she doesn’t believe former President Trump when he said it would be very unlikely that he would pardon himself. 

“I don’t believe him on anything,” Clinton told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. “Why should I start believing him on that?” 

In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Trump said it’s not likely he will pardon himself if he is convicted of a crime and elected president again.

“I could have pardoned myself. Do you know what? I was given an option to pardon myself. I could have pardoned myself when I left,” Trump said in the “Meet the Press” exclusive.

The former secretary of State, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, said she doesn’t believe Trump’s accusations. She said she thinks he is involved in “what psychologists call projection.”

“Whenever [Trump] accuses somebody else of doing something, it’s almost guaranteed he’s doing it himself or he’s already done it,” she said. “Or whenever he denies thinking about doing something or doing it, it’s almost guaranteed he is thinking about it or he’s already done it.” 

Clinton joined Psaki to speak about the 2024 presidential election, her thoughts on Trump’s indictments and the Clinton Global Initiative. The interview will air Sunday at 12 p.m.
