HOUSE DEM WANTS GOV. HOCHUL TO PARDON TRUMP ‘FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY’

By Jon Levine

Published June 1, 2024, 11:05 a.m. ET

A Democratic congressman has publicly called on Gov. Hochul to pardon former
President Donald Trump after he was found guilty this week of falsifying
business records — for the sake of the nation.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) said a Trump conviction only helps his campaign.

“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of
corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who
thrives on portraying himself as a victim. @GovKathyHochul should pardon him for
the good of the country,” Phillips declared in a X post Friday.

“You think pardoning is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn
star is stupid. (Election charges are entirely different.) It’s energizing his
base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an
electoral boost,” Phillips warned.

Phillips, a three term gadfly, earned national attention this year after
launching a primary challenge against President Biden for the 2024 Democratic
presidential nomination.

A businessman before entering government, Phillips dropped at least $5 million
of his own cash on the long-shot effort, which he abandoned in March.

A person close to Hochul said a pardon was “unlikely.” 

“I cannot image a world where she would consider doing this, this makes no
sense,” said the insider.
