The comments come as the president prepares for what his team expects to be a combative final stretch of his term, signaling willingness to shield allies and aides from potential legal exposure.
Why now: The pairing of protection for Musk with the unusual idea of pre-emptive pardons raises questions about legal risk and Trump's plans for his remaining time in office.
