TRUMP: I didn't want to do it, I was given the option. They said, "Sir, would you like to pardon everybody including yourself?"

I said, "I'm not going to pardon anybody. We didn't do anything wrong!"

And we had people that suffered, they're incredible patriots. We had people that suffered. We had Bannon put in jail, we had Peter Navarro put in jail. You had people that suffered, and far worse than that, they have lost their fortunes and whatever their nest egg -- paying it to lawyers.

People have said they wouldn't have even taken a pardon. This guy went around giving everyone pardons.

And, you know, the funny thing (maybe the sad thing) is he didn't give himself a pardon -- and if you look at it, it all had to do with him.
