Trump could be the first

As far as I know, there has never been a case where an ex-president has been prosecuted for illegal actions committed during his term of office.

The one who came closest was Nixon. He made sure to obtain a blanket pardon in advance from Ford, so it was never tested if all his actions in office were covered by presidential immunity.

Would Biden pardon Trump if it came to that? Should he?

I do not think Biden would, but would Nikki Haley? Or Death Santis.
