“Trump’s path to a pardon for his hush money conviction may lie in agreeing to cooperate with DA Alvin Bragg’s probe into Trump Organization’s financial dealings, a move some see as “the unthinkable”. If he cooperates, a pardon could be a possibility, but that’s a long shot. #Trump #Pardon”
President-elect Donald Trump has no chance of being granted a pardon for his criminal conviction without first showing some remorse, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
The Democrat had attendees at a Wednesday news conference cracking up when she was asked if she would consider using her authority to pardon Trump. “There is a pardoning process in the state of New York. It is lengthy,” Hochul said. “It requires a couple of elements—one is remorse.”
“No one will be treated any better or any worse by me when I make those life-altering decisions,” she continued. “We’re looking at petitions that come in throughout the year. So no one gets extra favors, no one gets treated worse.”
