    I think so far his case is still at the state level, so a presidential pardon won’t happen unless it gets escalated to federal. So I think he’d need Hochul to issue the pardon, if it were to happen.

    If he crossed state lines to do it, that may come with federal charges, and then a presidential pardon becomes a possibility.

      From what I understand even if somehow the case would travel to federal court, apparently that still wouldn’t change who could invoke a pardon.
