Floods in Midwest NOT caused by heavy rains but Rachel Maddow and Chris Cuomo tears upon hearing there was NO COLLUSION with RUSSIA. 1.36pm GMT In a 45-minute interview with Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity last night Trump refused to rule out pardoning Michael Flynn and others, despite some Republicans warning against it.Asked by Hannity if he would consider pardoning Flynn, Trump said: \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about pardons now,\u201d but went on to suggest it was something on his mind. Some right-wing commentators have called for Trump to absolve Flynn and various other people convicted in the Mueller investigation, although Trump-ally Lindsey Graham told reporters on Monday that \u201cif President Trump pardoned anybody in his orbit, it would not play well\u201d.
