In recent weeks, a discussion arose over whether – should he be re-elected for President – Mr. Trump would be able to pardon himself. Professor Kalir was interviewed by Verifythis.com on this issue. He explained, together with others, that while a President may pardon himself for any federal crime, he certainly could not do so with regards to state-charged crimes. The authority to pardon those is entrusted to the State Governors. Accordingly, it may well be that the New York State case – considered by many to be the least consequential of the three (or four) indictments – would prove the hardest obstacle to a re-elected President Trump, if that would be the case.
