Trump Says He Cannot Pardon Lindsay Clancy in Massachusetts Case
US President Donald Trump says he cannot intervene in Lindsay Clancy’s case because it falls under Massachusetts state jurisdiction. He described the deaths of Clancy’s three children as a tragic situation with no easy outcome. Clancy’s lawyer had asked Trump to consider a pardon, arguing that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when the children died in 2023. Her defence does not dispute that she caused their deaths but argues that her mental condition means she should not be held criminally responsible. Clancy, a former labour-and-delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. Her defence says she experienced hallucinations and delusions after the birth of her third child, while the case reportedly ended in a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict.
