Dem Senator Raises the Alarm About Trump’s Dangerous Pardon Spree

Sen. Chris Murphy has raised the red alert about President Donald Trump’s rapidly growing number of presidential pardons, telling MS NOW’s Chris Hayes that the pardons are an example of “bread and butter corruption.”

“I mean, he has made a series of what would seem to be audaciously politically toxic pardons,” Hayes said to Murphy on his Wednesday night show. “I mean, a man convicted and sentenced for 40 years for trafficking cocaine into the U.S., someone convicted of an enormous fraud enterprise and defrauding investors,”he said of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who Trump pardoned last month.
