ALBANY, N.Y. _ The New York state Assembly gave final legislative approval Tuesday to a bill that would allow prosecutors to bring state charges against a U.S. president and his associates who are accused of federal crimes and receive presidential pardons.
The bill is aimed at President Donald Trump, who has talked about pardoning loyal supporters as well as himself amid several investigations into his 2016 campaign, his actions in office, and his development company based in Manhattan.
The bill passed the Assembly 90-52. The State Senate passed it in May. Both votes were along party lines.
