New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D-NY) this week asked state legislators and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) to close a loophole that could let recipients of pardons for federal crimes from President Donald Trump avoid state criminal charges. Schneiderman said he was asking for the loophole to be eliminated because of "disturbing news" that Trump "may be considering issuing pardons that may impede criminal investigations." Shortly after Schneiderman made his request, state Sen. Todd Kaminsky, (D-NY), a former federal prosecutor who represents a district on Long Island, announced he would introduce a bill seeking to accomplish the attorney general's goal.
