Trump Says He Would Offer Pardons to Musk, Aides If Necessary
Trump said pardons would protect Musk and White House staff from investigations if Democrats win congressional control.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump vowed to issue preemptive pardons for his staffers and Tesla CEO Elon Musk should Democrats seize control of Congress in Tuesday's midterms, Axios reported.
- Democrats have signaled plans to wield subpoena power launching investigations into Trump family and corporate corruption if they win, prompting the president's protective warning.
- Musk has donated over $445 million during this election cycle to support Republicans, including at least $71 million for Senate races and $33.1 million in Texas contests.
- Representative Greg Casar, a Texas Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said last month committees must investigate "ultra-rich people who have tried to corrupt our government."
- Polls favor Democrats to flip the House, meaning Election Day results will determine whether investigative agendas and potential pardon battles proceed following Tuesday's voting.
