US President Donald Trump said on Friday he is considering pardoning some 3,000 people, including the late boxing champion Muhammad Ali, whose conviction for refusing to join the US military during the Vietnam War was later vacated by the US Supreme Court.
The president, while speaking to newsmen before he departed for a Group of Seven summit in Canada, also said he would reach out to NFL players who had been urging criminal justice reforms for their recommendations of people who had been treated unfairly.
Ali, who was drafted in 1966 and called up for induction in 1967, refused to answer to his name or take the oath.
