After Biden pardoned his family members, I would be surprised if Trump didn't complete his term by pardoning his family and all those that he works with.
It is – to my knowledge – an unsettled question, technically speaking, whether a president can pardon themselves. I would be unsurprised if he tried anyway, though.
Of course, states could still pursue actions against them, but I wonder in which cases they'd have standing / clear cases to pursue.

As we have learned, we can ignore all of that, or they can find ways around this. The Supreme Court has made it clear the President has amazing powers.
