 “I think it would be outrageous for a sitting president of the United States [to self-pardon],” Bharara told CNN’s “State of the Union.” 
  
 “I think if the president decided he was going to pardon himself, I think it is almost self-executing impeachment. Whether or not there is an argument that is not what the Framers could have intended.” 
  
 Trump fired Bharara last year after he refused to resign from his post. 
  
 Bharara's comments came in response to an earlier statement made by Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, in which the attorney said the president has the power to pardon himself. 
  
 Giuliani, appearing on ABC's "This Week" Sunday morning, said Trump could pardon himself, though has no plans to do so.

 "He’s not, but he probably does," Giuliani, said on ABC. 
  
 "He has no intention of pardoning himself," Giuliani added. "That’s another really interesting constitutional question: Can the president pardon himself?" 
  
 "It would be an open question. I think it would probably get answered by, 'gosh that’s what the Constitution says.’ And if you want to change it, change it. But, yeah.” 
  
 Bharara’s and Giuliani's comments come after The New York Times published a confidential 20-page letter from Trump’s lawyers to special counsel Robert Mueller Robert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud choice of Mueller to lead Russia probe MORE, who is leading an investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. 
  
 In the letter, attorneys argued that the president couldn’t have obstructed justice because he has authority over all federal investigations. Lawyers also wrote that the Constitution gives Trump the broad authority to, "if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon." ||||| House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Kevin Owen McCarthyFacebook removing 'trending' topics feature Ways and Means chairman endorses McCarthy for Speaker Hillicon Valley: Deadly attacks feared as hackers target industrial sites | McCarthy lashes out at Google | Summit talks haven't stopped North Korean hacks | AT&T; drops court fight over FTC authority MORE (R-Calif.) said Sunday that, despite recent comments from President Trump Donald John TrumpGiuliani threatens to go to court if Mueller subpoenas Trump Watergate prosecutor compares Trump to King George, a 'flimflam artist' Trump to host his first-ever Ramadan dinner: report MORE's lawyer, the president should not pardon himself.

 McCarthy’s comments came shortly after one of Trump's attorneys, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that the president could pardon himself, though he has no plans to do so.

 Questions over Trump's ability — or desire — to pardon himself swirled Sunday after reports on Saturday revealed that the president's lawyers had sent a confidential, 20-page letter to special counsel Robert Mueller Robert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud choice of Mueller to lead Russia probe MORE in January arguing that Trump had the authority to, "if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon." 
  
 The letter, first obtained and reported by The New York Times, also said Trump could not have obstructed justice because he has unfettered constitutional authority over all federal investigations. 
  
 Though McCarthy advised against the president issuing a self-pardon, he defended Trump's recent moves to exercise his power of the pardon. 
  
 Trump most recently pardoned conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to making illegal campaign contributions. 
  
 The pardon drew fire from a number of journalists and celebrities who lambasted D’Souza for his history of writing racist and other controversial posts online. 
  
 Trump’s recent pardons, McCarthy said, were a demonstration of “exactly what checks and balances are.” 
  
 “The president has the power to pardon,” McCarthy said. “That is part of the process of checks and balances and also part of checks and balances.” 
  
 D’Souza’s clemency would represent the fifth full pardon issued by Trump in his 18 months in office. He has also pardoned former Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former Bush administration official I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. ||||| "You got 1.4 million documents, you have 28 witnesses," President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said of what has been provided to special counsel Robert Mueller. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images Giuliani: Trump’s team ‘leaning toward’ recommending he not talk with Mueller 
  
 The president’s legal team is “leaning toward not” recommending he participate in an interview with the group investigating Russian interference in the 2016 elections, Rudy Giuliani, a member of the team, said Sunday. 
  
 While the decision whether to testify before Robert Mueller’s team is ultimately up to President Donald Trump, Giuliani said the legal team will likely recommend that he not speak with investigators. Trump has said he wants to appear; his legal team has argued he can’t be compelled to testify.

 “We’re leaning toward not. But look, if they can convince us that it will be brief, it would be to the point, there were five or six points they have to clarify, and with that, we can get this long nightmare for the American public over,” Giuliani said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” 
  
 If Trump is subpoenaed to testify, Giuliani said he would urge the president to appear but that he would claim that Trump's testimony is unnecessary. 
  
 “We’ll say, hey, you got everything you need, you got 1.4 million documents, you have 28 witnesses. The president’s given every explanation and corrected some that were mis-impressions. You’ve got everything you need, what — what do you need us for?” Giuliani said. 
  
 Giuliani said that with recent pardons, the president is not sending a signal to those involved in the Russia investigation that he will support them, and he said that while the president could legally pardon himself, the “political ramifications of that would be tough.” 
  
 "He has no intention of pardoning himself but … [that’s] not to say he can’t,” he said. 
  
 On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Giuliani confirmed that he had been interviewed by the Justice Department's inspector general for an upcoming report on the FBI's handling of the probe into HIllary Clinton's use of a personal email server. 
  
 "I was questioned once, and they were very satisfied by the answer," he said. 
  
 Two days before the FBI announced in October 2016 that it was reopening the investigation into Clinton, Giuliani promised some "pretty big surprises" during a TV appearance, which led some to believe he had received leaked information from the FBI that the case would be reopened. On Sunday, he defended those remarks, saying the surprise he was talking about was new campaign ads set to be released. 
  
 "I didn’t get any leaked information from the FBI," Giuliani said. "I speculated based on the fact that I knew there was a lot of turmoil within the FBI." |||||
A:
"He's not, but he probably does." So said Rudy Giuliani on Sunday when asked whether President Trump has the power to pardon himself, Reuters reports. Appearing on ABC's This Week, Trump's lawyer clarified by saying that his client "has no intention of pardoning himself," then added that the US Constitution "doesn't say he can't." So will Trump sit down with Robert Mueller's team to answer questions about the special counsel's probe? "We’re leaning toward not," said Giuliani, per Politico. "But look, if they can convince that it will be brief, it would be to the point, there were five or six points they have to clarify, and with that, we can get this long nightmare for the American public over." "We’ll say hey, you got everything you need, you got 1.4 million documents, you have 28 witnesses," he went on. "The president’s given every explanation and corrected some that were mis-impressions. You’ve got everything you need, what—what do you need us for?" Not everyone around the Sunday dial took the issue in a seemingly casual manner. Preet Bharara, former US attorney for the Southern District of New York, said on CNN's State of the Union that it would be "outrageous" and nearly a "self-executing impeachment" for Trump to pardon himself, the Hill reports. On the same show, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy addressed the self-pardon issue thusly, per the Hill: "The president is not saying he is going to pardon himself. The president never said he pardoned himself. I don't think a president should pardon themselves." (See how Trump's lawyers are arguing that it's impossible for him to obstruct justice.)
