Trump Says He Would Offer Pardons to Musk, Aides If Necessary
Trump said pardons could shield Musk and White House aides from Democratic investigations, but they would not block congressional probes or state charges.
- 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.

- 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.
