Lindsay Clancy's attorney seeks pardon from Trump: "I hope you consider this young woman, the kind of person she is, what she went through"

CNN Portugal8 September 2026 at 21:23

Attorney Kevin Reddington requested a pardon from President Donald Trump for Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts woman convicted of killing her three young children. The request was made during an appearance on the Good Morning America program.

Reddington asked Trump to consider "this young woman, the kind of person she is, what she went through" when evaluating the pardon request for his client.

Lindsay Clancy was convicted of murdering her three children in 2023. The defense argues she was suffering from mental disorders at the time of the crime.

The case sparked public debate about mental health and criminal justice in the United States, with the original sentence being challenged by the defense.

Middle East: Netanyahu's office denies warning about imminent Hamas attack

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically denied having received a warning from the United Arab Emirates about an imminent Hamas attack days before October 7, 2023. According to the Haaretz newspaper, based on a book to be released soon, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed, contacted Netanyahu during the last week of September 2023 to alert him that Hamas was planning a major operation, information that Netanyahu allegedly did not pass on to his security chiefs. The Emirates refused to comment directly on the allegation, but indicated that relevant intelligence information is shared when necessary. The publication of this investigation provoked strong criticism from the Israeli opposition, which is demanding an independent inquiry commission, at a time when Israel is preparing for legislative elections on October 27.
