Civil

 NY Times: Why Civil Cases Against Donald Trump Can Pack a Punch By David Lat and Zachary B. Shemtob - Mr. Lat writes about the legal profession. Mr. Shemtob is a lawyer.

As president, he could direct his attorney general to dismiss federal criminal charges against him or even attempt to pardon himself if convicted. He cannot do either with civil cases, which can proceed even against presidents.
