Kathy Hochul (D) to pardon Donald Trump following the former president’s conviction on 34 charges in his hush money trial. But the New York governor has already suggested that she won’t consider the idea.

The former president still faces three other criminal prosecutions, which concern the retainment of classified documents and alleged election interference.
