Donald Trump explained why he pardoned fraudster Trevor Milton on Friday in part by touting that Milton supported his presidency.
“He supported Trump,” Trump told reporters. “He liked Trump. I didn’t know him, but he liked him. They went after him, they went after his family, they went after his business, and he was I believe exonerated and then they went after him again and they brought him this time into Manhattan and he had nothing to do with Manhattan. They got him and I said, ‘That’s unfair.’ There are many people like that. They support Trump and they went after him.”
