Trump expected to pardon former Cheney aide ‘Scooter’ Libby

President Trump is expected to pardon Lewis “Scooter” Libby, according to a senior administration official, giving an olive branch to a George W. Bush administration staffer that the former president declined to grant.
It is unclear why Trump is making the move, but the pardon has been under consideration for several months, two people familiar with the president’s thinking said. Trump has often privately expressed a willingness to pardon Libby, who was convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury in the disclosure of a CIA agent’s name.
Trump could always change his mind, the senior administration official said. The timing of the pardon is unclear.
