Bruh this a total fever dream on my part.
But could you imagine if he pardoned Luigi? Not that it would ever, ever happen.
But imagine if he did?
Murder is tried under state law, so it is outside of president’s control. Only NY governor could pardon him.
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.
He can only pardon Luigi from federal prosecution, only the governor of NY can pardon him from prosecution in NY.
