The New York attorney general proposed letting the state prosecute presidential associates if they receive a pardon for a federal crime
New York Attorney General Letitia James has proposed a bill to close a “double-jeopardy loophole” for associates of the president that would allow her office to file state charges against them even if they receive a federal pardon.
Ms. James, a Democrat, met with lawmakers Tuesday to discuss the legislation ahead of its formal introduction. It would allow prosecutors to bring state criminal charges against people who have received a presidential pardon for a similar federal offense.
