Don't think so, but he could abdicate and get Pence to do it. But that doesn't help against state charges regardless.

afaik he can pardon himself proactively from federal-level investigations but can't do anything about the dozens of cases built up against him in New York.

What a coward. Fraud and coward. Would love to see him get arrested.

For federal charges, I don't see why not.

I don't think he can for state charges.

i'm still pretty sure a blanket pardon wouldn't hold up to a legal challenge. just nobody cared enough to try last time.

Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!
In recognition of your overwhelming victory, let's call it a draw.

i sincerely hope the constitution does not allow such blatant abuse of power. if it somehow does, i hope it gets amended immediately.

That's a big ol' shrug emoji

My guess is that he'd get eviscerated in court if he tried, but right now we really have no idea since it's never been done before
