8. Can a legal expert weigh in on this?

As I understand it, this is a Federal matter, but it is a civil case (defamation), so would not fall under pardon powers.

Other than the usual bullying and threatening, what could Trump do?

I guess the prosecutor is a DoJ employee, so presumably, the AG could make this case go away.

Frankly I'm not sure Trump would do anything to give Rudy a lifeline. Rudy has no money, no influence, no law license, basically nothing that can help Trump. It isn't like Trump to do anything for a person without a transaction that works to Trump's favor.
