“Some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard and long,” Trump said. He suggested some of the charges against the soldiers are unfair. Trump could still change his mind and decide against the pardons - former military officers have come out en masse and said it would be an ill-advised move - but the White House’s requests indicate Trump is seriously considering following through with the pardons.ĭuring a question-and-answer session with reporters ahead of his trip to Japan on Friday, Trump indicated pardons aren’t imminent, but acknowledged he’s considering them. The New York Times reported last Saturday that the Trump administration “made expedited requests” for the paperwork needed to issue a number of pardons, including to troops accused of killing unarmed citizens and detainees. Taking cues from Fox News, President Donald Trump is reportedly considering commemorating Memorial Day by pardoning several American troops accused of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
