Trump Says Lindsay Clancy Pardon Request Is a State Matter, Not Federal
President Donald Trump said he would not intervene in the Lindsay Clancy case, calling it a state matter despite her attorney’s pardon request. He noted there’s no winner and urged the local system to resolve the retrial/penalties, acknowledging the tragedy of three deaths. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder after a mistrial with an 11–1 split among jurors; her defense attributes the deaths to postpartum psychosis, and prosecutors and defense must work out the case at the state level.
