As an outsider, can the US president pardon Jensen AND Nvidia? Let’s say he “donates” a cool hundred million dollars, and the fact that as per US law corporations are people, I think Trump can technically do that?

P.S: not saying this should happen.

The US president can pardon any federal charges and sentences yes, preemptively. Biden did pardon all his family and Fauci of any future federal crimes.

IMHO, preemptive pardons should be outlawed.

Trump will likely pardon him, in exchange for a "contribution".
