NEW YORK POST
Allies of ex-Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are reportedly angling to win a pardon for the disgrace pol from President-elect Trump.
President Biden has apparently rebuffed the idea multiple times since the fall, forcing Menendez to set his sights on Trump — who he voted to convict during both of impeachment trials, sources told NBC News.
Despite the bad blood, the former Jersey pol who awaits a Jan. 29 sentencing, is more confident that Trump will deliver mercy once he retakes the Oval Office — especially if he asks for a sentence commutation instead of a full pardon, the outlet reported.
Menendez, 71, also believes a rejection from Biden might make Trump more inclined to grant clemency, allies said.
A Trump source, however, told the outlet that the president-elect is unlikely to look past Menendez twice voting to impeach him during his first presidency.
