Someone said that the pardon was only valid if the person had already been convicted. Can anyone confirm this?

No Nixon was pardoned and there were no official prosecutions existing at the time of his pardon. They were imminent but not officially commenced in the House

It’s call a preempted pardon, that’s what all the Democrats got from Joe Biden.
