Trump says Lindsay Clancy pardon is a state matter, not federal
TL;DR
President Donald Trump indicated he would consider a pardon request for Lindsay Clancy, but reiterated that pardons are a state matter, not federal, and Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has no authority to grant one while the case is in state court; Clancy’s murder trial ended in a mistrial with a holdout juror, and a retrial could occur as a status hearing is set for later in September.
