GOP Candidates Clash Over Pardoning Trump if Indicted

GOP presidential candidates have taken different positions on whether to pardon former President Donald Trump if he is found guilty of the charges in the federal indictment. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson criticized the idea of using the pardon power to curry votes, while Vivek Ramaswamy promised to pardon Trump and called the allegations vague. Republican businessman Perry Johnson has also called for a pardon. Hutchinson argued that offering a pardon before the case is tried undermines the jury system and is offensive.
