The White House on Monday said President Trump is not above the law, despite his assertion he has the power to pardon himself to avoid punishment in the Russia probe.
“Certainly, no one is above the law,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at her daily press briefing.
Sanders was asked three separate times if Trump believes he is above the law, and she reiterated the president’s belief that he would not need to use a pardon on himself because “he hasn’t done anything wrong.”
“Thankfully, the president hasn’t done anything wrong and wouldn’t have any need for a pardon,” she said.

Then, Sarah, maybe you should tell your boss he’s not above the law. He seems to think he is.
