Reddington made the appeal during an appearance on Good Morning America on September 8, asking Trump to pardon Clancy, who is facing charges in connection with the deaths of her three children.
Responding to reporters, Trump acknowledged that he had heard about the request but pointed out that the case is being handled at the state level rather than by the federal government.
Trump said: “It’s a very sad situation……I certainly heard that, but look, it’s very sad. There is no winner there. There’s no win no matter what you do. Three children are dead.”
The president also spoke positively about Reddington’s work as a defense attorney and expressed hope that those involved could reach a resolution.
“He’s a good attorney,” Trump said. “I’ve heard from other people he’s a very good attorney.
“I hope they can work something out,” he continued. “That’s something they have to work out.”
Trump’s comments indicate that he does not have the authority to simply pardon Clancy because her case is a state matter. Presidential pardons generally apply to federal offenses, while state criminal cases are handled through the relevant state’s legal and clemency system.

Paul Claydon, a pest control expert, said his workload involving rats has remained unusually high throughout the summer, despite the period normally seeing a drop in rat-related call-outs.
According to Claydon, some of the rats he has caught have measured up to 40cm, or around 16 inches, in length.
Claydon also pointed to changes in waste collection schedules, explaining that some councils have moved from weekly to fortnightly collections. He said delays in rubbish collection can leave more food waste available for rats.
He cited Birmingham as an example, where bin strikes reportedly resulted in large amounts of rubbish accumulating and were followed by reports of rat problems.
The pest expert also said overflowing bins, takeaway waste, fly-tipping, bird feeding, compost bins and food waste around residential areas can provide rats with easy access to food.
Speaking about the unusually large rats and the risks they pose, Claydon said:
“There’s definitely been a noticeable increase in the number of rats,
“This year in particular has been exceptionally busy.
“Normally, rat call-outs start to ease off through the summer, but this year the volume has stayed really high.
“I’m seeing levels of rat work in summer that I’d usually associate with the peak winter periods.
“And there are probably a number of reasons behind it.
“Much milder winters, which means better survival rates and a longer breeding season, but I think food availability is a massive factor.
Waste collections have changed in a lot of areas, with some councils moving from weekly to fortnightly, and whenever there’s a delay or disruption to collections, you’re effectively creating a bigger food source for rats.
“Birmingham is a good example, where the bin strikes led to huge amounts of rubbish building up and reports of serious rat problems.
“When you have overflowing bins, food waste, takeaway waste, fly-tipping, people feeding birds, compost bins and generally more food available around urban areas.
“Add in building work, disturbed ground and properties with gaps, it’s no wonder they are thriving.
“They are the biggest I’ve seen.
“They are very dangerous; they spread diseases, contaminate food and surfaces with urine and droppings, damage buildings, chew electrical wires and can cause fires by gnawing cables.
“They can also contaminate water and food supplies.”

Crowder was most recently arrested in Glendale, Southern California, in August 2026 after several stores reported a man behaving suspiciously around female shoppers.
According to Glendale Police, officers received reports of a man bending down and acting suspiciously around customers. Investigators later identified Crowder and arrested him in the 100 block of South Brand Boulevard.
The judge also highlighted a specific condition of his parole, ordering Crowder to remain at least six feet away from other people’s backsides.
He was further ordered to stay 100 yards away from stores connected to the reported incidents, including Big Sav, Marshalls and HomeGoods locations in Glendale.
The case adds to Crowder’s previous encounters with law enforcement over similar behaviour.
Crowder was arrested twice within a month last year for harassing women in California, according to previous reports.
In 2021, he was also filmed behaving inappropriately behind a woman in a shop. When confronted about the incident, he claimed he was “tying his shoe” before reportedly behaving similarly towards another woman in a bookshop.
Earlier in August, Glendale police responded to reports involving a suspicious man who was reportedly behaving inappropriately around customers at a grocery store on Glenoaks Boulevard.
Police also received a report from a nearby clothing store involving similar behaviour.
After reviewing surveillance footage, investigators identified Crowder as a suspect and arrested him for violating his parole conditions.
In July, Crowder was also taken into custody following a separate incident at a Walgreens pharmacy in Burbank, California. Employees contacted police after reporting inappropriate conduct.
He was also arrested in July after reports of a suspicious person loitering near the women’s department at a Burbank Nordstrom Rack.
Crowder’s latest sentence is connected to the Glendale parole violation.

Footage released by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) showed the ferry engulfed in flames as emergency responders worked to rescue people from the burning vessel.
According to the latest information from the Coast Guard, 43 people have been rescued, while five people have died. More than 80 people remain unaccounted for as search and rescue operations continue.

I Would Hope That You Would Consider This Young Lady – Lindsay Clancy’s Attorney Kevin Reddington Pleads With Donald Trump to Grant Her a Pardon
The attorney representing Lindsay Clancy, Kevin Reddington, has asked President Donald Trump to consider pardoning his client after her murder trial ended in a mistrial following a deadlocked jury.
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
Clancy, 36, is facing three murder charges over the January 2023 deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and infant son Callan — at the family’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
Her trial ended in a mistrial on September 4 after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict following more than a week of deliberations. The case remains unresolved, and prosecutors could decide to pursue another trial.
Speaking during an interview with Good Morning America on Tuesday, Reddington said he is hopeful that the defense and Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz can reach an agreement regarding the case.
He also made a direct appeal to Trump, saying:
“Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady and the person she is, what she’s been through, and consider a pardon”
Reddington’s request comes after Trump previously commented on the case when the mistrial was declared. The president said he had been following the trial and described Clancy’s actions as “horrible,” while suggesting that the case could ultimately result in imprisonment or treatment in a mental health facility.
Much of Clancy’s trial focused on whether she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings. Her defense argued that the condition left her unable to understand the wrongfulness of her actions, while prosecutors disputed the defense’s position and argued that she was criminally responsible.
The jury ultimately failed to reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in the mistrial.
Reddington has since indicated that he is willing to negotiate with the district attorney rather than necessarily proceed directly to another trial. He said he hopes both sides can find an agreement that would be acceptable to them.
However, there is an important legal issue surrounding the request for a presidential pardon. Clancy’s charges are under Massachusetts state law, rather than federal law, meaning the U.S. president does not have the normal constitutional authority to pardon her for those state offenses. Reddington nevertheless said he was seeking Trump’s help because of the president’s influence.
The case is expected to return to court, with the next hearing scheduled for September 29 as prosecutors consider their options following the mistrial.

Residents were said to have fled in different directions as gunshots rang out across the village, with some escaping into nearby bushes and forests for safety.
A resident who spoke about the attack said 11 bodies had been recovered, while several other residents remained missing.
“For now, 11 dead bodies have been recovered. Many people are still missing. Search teams and security personnel are in the forest searching for the missing people,” he said.
