Trump ‘may pardon himself LIVE at DC rally the day Biden’s win is certified by Congress’, Apprentice star claims
DONALD Trump may pardon himself at his own rally on the same day Joe Biden's victory is ratified, his former adviser claims.
The President is reportedly pressuring VP Mike Pence to prevent Congress from certifying the Democrat's election win.
On January 6, Pence will take on a ceremonial role in the process and legal experts argue he has no authority to prevent Biden's victory from being ratified.
Meanwhile, Trump is holding a rally for his supporters in Washington DC on the same day.
And, Omarosa Manigault Newman - who appeared on The Apprentice before joining Trump's White House team - believes the Republican may try and "produce a moment" on Biden's big day.
She told : "I think Donald Trump is going to seize this moment to make it all about himself…
"He will use this moment to announce his presidency. Maybe he will use this moment to pardon himself."
Pence, as vice president, presides over the Senate and has a constitutional duty to validate election results, which insiders told would be viewed as “the ultimate betrayal” by Trump.
has become a vocal critic of the president since being fired by Trump in 2018.
She believes the brash billionaire is going through a "psychotic episode" since losing the November election.
"I think Donald Trump is going through a psychotic episode," she said.
"I think that he has come to terms with his loss, but his arrogance, his ego will not allow him to accept that he is not going to be president come January."
On reports Trump is pressurising Pence to prevent the certification of Biden's victory, she said: "Vice President Pence is going to be on the receiving end of Donald Trump’s wrath – and it’s erratic, it’s intense and at many times it makes absolutely no sense."
She added: "He probably sat [in the Oval office] and made a case to Vice President Pence and the more Pence pushes back, the louder Trump gets, the crazier he gets with his requests and then when he gets mad he just kicks you out and just stops speaking with you."

He wrote: “Yes, I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements. Disgusting and foul-mouthed Omarosa is one."
“I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone, and she went for some cheap money from a book. Numerous others also!”
