Trump Asserts he Can Pardon Himself, but Doesn't Need to

Stephen Binhak, a lawyer, former federal prosecutor and associate independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation, discusses President Trump's Monday assertion that he can pardon himself if necessary in the Russia investigation, even though he says there is no need because he is not guilty. Trump's comments set up a potential legal battle, which could change the legal interpretation of presidential power. Greg Stohr, Bloomberg News Supreme Court reporter, discusses the Monday decision in “Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission,” where the justices threw out a discrimination finding against a Colorado baker who wouldn’t make a custom cake for a same-sex couple. They speak with Bloomberg’s June Grasso.
