An associate of Rudy Giuliani told a former CIA officer a presidential pardon was “going to cost $2m”, the New York Times reported on Sunday in the latest bombshell to break across the last, chaotic days of Donald Trump’s presidency.
The former CIA officer John Kiriakou, who was jailed in 2012 for leaking the identity of an operative involved in torture, told the Times he laughed at the remark from the associate of Giuliani, the former New York mayor who as Trump’s personal attorney is reportedly a possible pardon recipient himself.
“Two million bucks – are you out of your mind?” Kiriakou reportedly said. “Even if I had two million bucks, I wouldn’t spend it to recover a $700,000 pension.”
Kiriakou told the Times his pursuit of a pardon came up during a meeting with Giuliani on another subject, at the Trump International Hotel in Washington last year.
During the meeting, which reportedly “involved substantial alcohol”, Giuliani went to the bathroom. It was then, Kiriakou said, that Giuliani’s unnamed associate told him: “It’s going to cost $2m – he’s going to want two million bucks.”

Can Trump pardon himself?
There is no precedent for this as no US president has done it, so it will remain up to the courts to decide if Trump has the legal authority to pardon himself under the Constitution.
Trump’s potential legal troubles stem from his alleged role in inciting his supporters to storm the US Capitol on January 6 during a fiery one-hour speech.
A January 2 phone call to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger could also land him in legal jeopardy. During a leaked audio recording he was heard asking Raffensperger to “find” the votes he needed to win the state from Joe Biden – a move that could be interpreted as trying to intervene in an election, which is a violation of federal law.
There is also speculation that Trump could be ensnared in investigations of former associates or even new investigations being opened after he leaves office. However, there are multiple state and local investigations into Trump and his businesses that would not be covered by a presidential pardon.
Can he pardon his children?
Yes, Trump can and may pardon his adult children, Don Jr, Eric and Ivanka, all three of whom have taken on prominent roles working in the White House and for his campaign. So far, none has been officially charged with any crimes.

You jest. Anybody that ISN'T on El Trumpo's pardon list can kiss goodbye to their future careers in crime and sleaze.
