You feel that Trump cannot pardon anyone convicted in NY.

Which other states do you feel presidential pardons are not possible in?

All of the states. The President only has pardon power over convictions in federal courts for federal crimes.

The President can only pardon offenses against the United States (Federal crimes).

He has no authority over state criminal convictions.
