Kamala Harris Asked Twice If She’d Pardon Trump — Her Face Says It All

NBC News NOW anchor and senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson repeatedly asked Vice President Kamala Harris if she would consider pardoning former President Donald Trump if he is found guilty — the VP’s face said as much as or more than her verbal responses.

Trump is scheduled to be sentenced for the 34 felony counts he was found guilty of in the Stormy Daniels hush money-election interference trial, but he still faces dozens of criminal counts in the classified documents case whose dismissal is under appeal, the January 6 case, and the now-paused Fulton County election crimes case.

Vice President Harris sat for a one-on-one interview with Jackson on Tuesday night’s edition of NBC Nightly News, during which Harris tried to parry the pardon question by resisting “hypotheticals” — then shot the question down a second time with a little more oomph:

JACKSON: If you win, it is entirely possible that the federal court cases against the former president will continue on. He is, of course, facing those felony charges. Would you consider if you win and he’s convicted, a pardon for former President Trump?

HARRIS: I’m not going to get into those hypotheticals. I’m focused on the next 14 days.

JACKSON: But do you believe, is there any part of you that subscribes to the argument that has been made in the past that a pardon could help bring America together, could help you unify the country and move them, move on.

HARRIS: Let me tell you what’s going to help us move on. I get elected President of the United States.

JACKSON: One of the things you talked about is having a Republican in your camp- in your cabinet, potentially.

HARRIS: Yes.

JACKSON: You spent a lot of time on the campaign trail with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, as you referenced, is she somebody who, is she somebody who would consider putting in the cabinet? Have you talked with her about this topic?

HARRIS: I’ll keep you posted.
