Can Trump Pardon Himself? Would It Matter If He Did?
Having grudgingly green-lit the peaceful transfer of power, President Donald Trump is now perfectly poised to proceed with a parade of pardons.
Trump has already commuted the sentence of his informal adviser Roger Stone.
But what about Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who is still in home confinement serving out his prison sentence?
Even more to the point, what about Trump himself?
Trump has repeatedly asked aides about pardons for himself and his family members--and whether he could issue them preemptively.
CNN reports the question of self-pardoning may be moot.
If Trump faces any criminal charges, they'll be at the state level, not federal.
US Presidents are not immune from any state charges.
