Original Note:
This statement is legally incorrect. The president has the power to pardon a person convicted of a federal crime. While Trump’s NY state convictions are based on conduct that allegedly violated federal law, there are no federal charges or convictions a president could pardon. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013316/
