NY governor: Trump would need to show remorse for hush money pardon [View all]

Source: The Hill

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said President-elect Trump would need to show remorse if he wanted to receive a pardon for his conviction in his hush money case.

“There is a pardoning process in the state of New York. It is lengthy,” Hochul said Wednesday at an unrelated news conference. “It requires a couple of elements. One is remorse.”

Hochul said everyone will be treated fairly in her pardoning process.

“No one will be treated any better, or any worse, by me when I make those life altering decisions as we’re looking at petitions that are coming in throughout the year,” she said. “So, no one gets extra favors, no one gets treated worse.”
