If Biden offered to pardon Trump for a theoretical conviction in Trump's NY trial it would not be within his authority and that power would rest with the governor of New York https://www.justice.gov/pardon/frequently-asked-questions https://doccs.ny.gov/community-supervision-handbook/executive-clemency
