Trump excuse (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
let off
This could be a double definition.
'trump' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'excuse' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for let off that I've seen before include "impose no punishment at all?" , "Allow to go free; discharge" , "Release by exploding - pardon" , "Chance to escape defeat" , "Spare" .)
