This is the kind of thing that would make it interesting to have a psychiatric examination of @realDonaldTrump.
I wouldn't doubt that he believes a lot of the false things he says, like the general proposition that he lost the election as the result of fraud.
But when he speaks of actual conversations that almost undoubtedly or certainly didn't happen, like this one and many others he has recounted (recall his ridiculous claim, for example, that he talked to former presidents about building a border wall), ...

... you have to wonder whether he's so delusional that he's convinced himself that these conversations actually occurred. Whatever the answer to that is, it's probably certainly the case that the concept of truth really doesn't have a meaning to him.

It's important to remember that a presidential pardon reduces the ability of the recipient to invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

And the pardon of course cannot bar prosecution for perjury in testimony compelled after the issuance of the pardon.

"Many have been shocked by the silence —and even support—of so many elected members of the GOP in response to Trump’s increasingly outlandish claims. But their behavior isn’t at all surprising to social psychologists: ...."
"It’s a perfect demonstration of how toxic environments grow gradually, as problematic behavior starts with something small that then continues and expands."
"Real-world cases of corporate fraud provide similar evidence of the slippery slope of problematic behavior. Interviews with financial executives indicted for accounting fraud reveal that their conduct in virtually all cases escalated gradually."

The importance of this is that, in order for an objection to an electoral vote certificate to be considered, it must be made by at least one member of each chamber.
It was on this basis--the failure of any senators to sign objections made by members of the House--that Vice President Biden, presiding as president of the Senate, was able to summarily swat away objections ...
... made by some House Democrats to some of the electoral votes cast for Trump in the 2016 election.
