Trump hints in Hannity interview he has considered pardonsKey Republicans believe his healthcare plans make no senseGo beyond the headlines: sign up to our US morning briefing 1.59pm GMT Good one:Breaking wind from CNN!

The FBI said he wasn’t lying, as I understand it, and the Mueller group said he was lying.“And you know what he’s gone through, and what so many others have gone through,” Trump continued. “I could name names that would just go on for your entire show. It’s a very, very sad thing. I don’t want to talk about pardons now. But I can say, it’s so sad on so many levels.”Caputo: “Pardon General Flynn. Pardon George Papadopoulos.
