President Donald Trump brought his grievances with former FBI Director James Comey and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into a televised discussion of forgiveness, saying he doubted he could forgive them.
CBS said the 60 Minutes interview was recorded Friday, Nov. 6, and aired Sunday, Nov. 8. CBS correspondent Ross Douthat asked Trump what he believed would happen after death. Trump said he was religious and thought he could go to heaven in theory.
Douthat then asked whether Trump could forgive Comey and Pelosi if forgiveness were required to enter paradise. Trump said no and added, “I probably cannot do that, no, because I do hate some of my enemies and I always will.”
Trump called the two dishonest and bad for the country. He also referred to what he called “weaponization,” his indictment and his impeachment, but did not explain what he held against Comey or Pelosi individually.
