Summary

Donald Trump has won the White House for a second time.

By securing the presidency, he can use the awesome powers of the executive to shield from scrutiny any illegal conduct that he would deem part of his “official” duties.

Trump faces four felony charges in the Washington , D.C. , case: conspiracy to defraud the United States , conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.

No president in U.S. history has ever attempted to pardon himself for any crimes, federal or state.

Constitution doesn't address whether presidents can self-pardon, but some legal analysts have suggested it could be impeachable offense for a president to do so.

Trump still faces eight felony charges in Fulton County , Georgia , for allegedly conspiring to overturn the state’s election results.
