Original Note:
The power to pardon federal offenses lies with the President of the United States. However, the President cannot pardon someone for state crimes. If Donald J. Trump were convicted of a state crime, he would need to seek a pardon from the relevant state authority. https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/article-ii/clauses/346
