Does this mean also a future president could pardon him? 🤣😁😐😞

If he runs for office they can’t prosecute him until after the election, right? RIGHT‽

I’m pretty sure it does. It won’t happen, but a president could pardon someone from federal crimes.

But since he’s facing state crimes, those can only be pardoned by the governor.

Right, but we’re discussing the new federal charges that have been added, as reported in the OP story.
