Trump played down talk of action against Elon Musk and his companies. “It won’t happen. It’s talk. But if it is talk, we’ll have to protect them, won’t we?” he said.
Asked about former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine, he answered, “We’ll have to see.”
Trump cited former President Joe Biden, who on Jan. 20, 2025, issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, members of the House Jan. 6 committee and five of his relatives.
The remarks describe what Trump says he would do if Democrats take specific steps.
He did not announce any pardons. The White House referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to the president’s comments in the interview.
