Trump Asks Israel's President to Pardon Netanyahu
President Donald Trump urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption.
Hey, I have an idea. President, why don’t you give him a pardon? Cigars and some champagne — who the hell cares?
Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 in three cases, including receiving almost 700,000 shekels ($210,000) in gifts from businessmen, including champagne and cigars.
Israel’s President holds a largely ceremonial role but has authority to pardon convicted criminals if unusual circumstances are presented.
