    New York state lawmakers on Tuesday passed legislation tightening a “double-jeopardy loophole” that could undermine potential pardons by President Donald Trump. The state Assembly passed a measure that would permit authorities to bring state charges against individuals who have received presidential pardons for similar federal crimes. “Our democracy survives because we have checks and balances,” Assemblyman Tom Abinanti (D) said during Tuesday’s vote, according to Courthouse News’ Adam Klasfeld. The bill heads now to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk for a signature.
