Original Note:
The pardon does not prevent an investigation. He can be investigated, and he can be forced to testify against his father. Further, any state or local crimes, like possession of child pornography in Md, or the statutory rape of his niece can still be prosecuted. https://protectdemocracy.org/work/the-presidential-pardon-power-explained/#:~:text=Presidential%20pardons%20cannot%20violate%20criminal%20law&text=The%20president%20is%20a%20public,act%20to%20commit%20the%20violation.
