Nixon wasn’t charged with anything and Ford pardoned him, so I’d guess the answer is yes.,

Jeez, Blue Highway, you're really showing your youth.

Remember Ford pardoning Nixon for "any crimes that he may have committed, and for any crimes for which he had not yet even been indicted?"

Regards,

In early 2001, just before leaving office, President Bill Clinton pardoned his brother Roger, who had been serving time for a federal drug-related offense.

Ford pardoned Nixon before any charges were filed, so probably yes.
