GOP candidates' promises to pardon Trump draw criticism and support from rivals.

TL;DR Summary
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican presidential candidate, criticized fellow GOP candidates for promising to pardon Donald Trump, calling it "wrong" and "offensive." Hutchinson, who is polling in the back of the pack of Republican candidates, said it undermines the rule of law and is a distraction from the campaign. He also called on Trump to end his bid "for the good of the country," while acknowledging he won't. Trump is the first former president to face federal charges, accused of willfully retaining sensitive government records after leaving the White House and seeking to prevent authorities from getting them back.
