New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), the sole person with the power to pardon former President Donald Trump for his felony convictions, signaled Thursday evening that she would not consider such a move.

Todays verdict reaffirms that no one is above the law, Hochul said in a statement.

In preparation for a verdict in this trial, I directed my Administration to closely coordinate with local and federal law enforcement and we continue to monitor the situation, she added. We are committed to protecting the safety of all New Yorkers and the integrity of our judicial system.
