Can Trump give his own clean chit?
Even in America, the President has the power of pardon. Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 of the US Constitution gives the US President the power to find relief and resolve all crimes against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. For this, it does not matter whether the allegations are proved or not. However, the President can do this for himself. Nothing is written about this in the Constitution.

And no such incident has come to light in American history. Regarding this, an American law professor wrote in the Washington Post that this cannot be done. Former US President Nixon was also not able to free himself from the allegations against him. He also had to resign. Regarding this, the judicial principles of America’s Justice Department say that no person can be both a judge and a defendant in his own case.

No president in American history has ever used pardon for himself while in office. If Donald Trump does this. So he will be the first President to do so.
