The US President DonaldTrump, on Monday, announced his plans to pardon some"very, very important" person on Tuesday. The information was passed on by Trump to the local reporters onboard Air Force One.
"Doing a pardon tomorrow on someone who is very, very important," he said. He declined to give the name, though.
