It says in the article above:
“The President-elect may decide to stop America’s investigation into the Australian-born WikiLeaks co-founder, which could see him regain his freedom after being holed-up in the South American embassy since June 2012.”
I think that’s as far as Trump can go.
He could also perhaps use his influence to grant Assange asylum in the USA.
That's not a pardon.

Oh sure. Grant asylum to a guy wanted for rape. Way to cement your standing with women in the electorate. Would the U.S. become the sanctuary for all accused rapists or just this one?
