If Trump was to become the next US President, would be abuse his position and try to quash his legal convictions?

Could he use something like an executive order to 'pardon himself' and expunge his convictions?

As we know he is the quintessential 'post turtle'. 8-)

Of course he would try, but if I remember correctly, he (the sitting president) can only pardon federal crimes, and his trial and guilty verdict all happened at the state level.

@Ontheroad 34 Felonies are Federal Crimes. You need to research better.

@dakotaviper like I said, if I remember correctly.

@dakotaviper You are wrong—felonies may be federal or state level. These were tried under NY state law.

In fact, the DOJ had the choice to prosecute this case and passed on it. Thus disproving yet another Convicted Felon tRump lie that this case was by President Biden’s DOJ.

Al Bragg is a NY State DA. Do your own research before you falsely ridicule others of your own mistake.
