This seems aimed at federal prosecutions, that appear remote and likely barred by statute of limitations by 2029. I'm aware of no indication president has authority to pardon state-law crimes, but some Trump allies have suggested he does. See

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

There’s a chance they may have to restart jury selection in the sandwich guy case after the judge shielded the whole process from the public.

Jack Smith played by the book--exactly the opposite from what right-wing critics (like @washingtonpost editorial board) are pretending. In fact, that's why he lost. He filed in FL, legally correct venue, despite chance of it landing before biased judge. https://t.co/AvaQSJSQre

After describing myself being attacked in great detail, Senator Welch asked the witnesses if they supported Trumps pardons for insurrectionists. All Republican witnesses raised their hands. This was a hearing ostensibly on how political violence is bad.
