Booker on Trump reportedly floating pardon for border official: 'That should shake every American'
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) hammered President Trump for reportedly telling the head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that he would pardon him if he were jailed for violating immigration law.
“That should shake every American. We basically have a president telling people to break the law and that he will pardon you,” Booker, one of more than a dozen Democrats running for president, told MSNBC host Joy Reid.
“And again, we’re sitting in Newark where kids are going to prison for things that two of the last three presidents admitted to doing and nobody’s pardoning them,” he said, referring to smoking marijuana.
