And so I can\u2019t imagine a pardon being issued.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has been charged with 37 counts in relation to his alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after his time in office, as well as his efforts to block the government from recovering the materials.<\/p>\n<p>Another GOP 2024 presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, has promised to pardon Trump if elected in 2024, while Asa Hutchinson \u2014 who\u2019s also in the running \u2014 has said Trump\u2019s legal issues should be disqualifying and knocked Ramaswamy for the pledge.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow candidate Nikki Haley said she\u2019s \u201cinclined in favor of a pardon\u201d if Trump were to be convicted of federal charges. Trump\u2019s former Vice President Mike Pence, also running for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, has said conversations about pardoning Trump are \u201cpremature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo on Thursday also asked about whether he\u2019d consider a pardon for President Biden, who is also being looked at for his document handling, but Christie said \u201cthat would be an impossible question to answer\u201d given it\u2019s unclear what Biden may be accused of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Christie also criticized Trump for his threat to skip the primary debates, claiming the former president \u201cis a coward\u201d if he follows through.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIf Donald Trump doesn\u2019t show up, he is a coward. That\u2019s the only excuse for him sitting in his place in Bedminster, New Jersey, and watching it on TV, rather than being a man and stand on the stage. And defend his record and his conduct,\u201d Christie said in the NewsNation interview, adding that he thinks Trumps \u201cego is much too large\u201d to not get on the debate stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump has previously suggested that, since he\u2019s polling as the GOP frontrunner, he doesn\u2019t need to engage in the debate \u2014 leaving some in his party split on whether he should attend the first debate scheduled for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p>The former New Jersey governor\u2019s comments come just after he announced his 2024 campaign has reached the minimum number of donors required to qualify for the first GOP presidential debate next month.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>NewsNation and The Hill are both owned by Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
