Mayor Buttigieg on President Trump's possible pardoning of US war criminals: The 'idea that being sent to fight makes you automatically into some sort of war criminal is a slander against veterans that could only come from someone who never served.'
Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg ripped President Donald Trump for considering whether to pardon convicted and alleged war criminals.
On Friday, amid reports that Trump could issue such pardons over Memorial Day weekend, the president told reporters at the White House that he hasn't"made any decisions yet." Buttigieg lambasted the latter remark, saying:"The idea that being sent to war turns you into a murderer is exactly the kind of thing that those of us who have served have been trying to beat back for more than a generation."
"We'll see what happens," Cheney said, adding that Trump"has absolute power to pardon and I will watch and see how he exercises that."
