Um...pardon ME? Trump: "(George Santos) lied like hell. I didn't know him, but he was 100 percent for Trump."
Trump tells Newsmax a pardon is a likely NO for Sean Combs:

Trump went on, “It’s hard, you know? We’re human beings and we don’t like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you know someone and you were fine and then you run for office and he makes some terrible statements … it makes it more difficult. I’m being honest. It makes it more difficult to do."
Trump simultaneously signaled he'd pardon serial fraudster and former New York congressman George Santos. "He lied like hell. I didn't know him, but he was 100 percent for Trump," the president said.
"Well, points for candor, right?" (Bulwark Editor Sam Stein) wrote sarcastically. "The guy admits 'I'm going to give pardons to people who I like and who are nice to me.'"
