President Trump said Friday that he’s thinking about pardoning the late boxing legend and civil rights activist Muhammad Ali -- although Ali's attorney said that such a move is unnecessary. Trump told reporters ahead of his departure to the G-7 summit in Canada that he was thinking "very seriously" about pardoning Ali. "I'm thinking about Muhammad Ali, I'm thinking about that very seriously." "The U.S Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Muhammad Ali in a unanimous decision in 1971. The president said Friday that he is considering as many as 3,000 pardons and that the pardoning power is "a beautiful thing."
