US President Donald Trump has said he will not intervene in the case of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts woman accused of killing her three young children.
Clancy, 36, faces three counts of first-degree murder over the January 2023 deaths of her children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan.
Trump made his position known on Sunday when asked whether he would pardon Clancy, whose lawyer had publicly appealed to him to intervene.
“It’s a very sad situation.
“There is no winner there. There is no win no matter what you do. Three children are dead. So, I don’t know. It’s actually a state situation, you know, not a federal,” Trump said.
Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, had asked Trump last week to pardon his client, while acknowledging that the President does not have the authority to pardon someone convicted of a state offence.
Trump said the case should be resolved at the state level and praised Reddington as a good lawyer.
