NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump signaled Sunday that he would not intervene in the case of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother, accused of killing her three young children amid allegations that she suffered from postpartum psychosis. Asked if he would pardon Clancy, Trump called the situation “very sad” but said the case is ultimately a “state situation,” not a federal one. “There is no winner there. There is no victory, no matter what you do. Three children are dead,” he said. The response came after attorney Kevin Reddington, who represents Clancy, publicly called on Trump to grant his client a pardon last week.
