In recent months, the sources say, Trump has spoken to several GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, attorneys, and other associates about the possibility of Republicans passing legislation in a second Trump term that would shield former presidents (i.e. Trump) from non-federal prosecutions.

In other words, it would shield former presidents from prosecutions for crimes committed at the state level. Federal prosecution would be unlikely, and friendly administrations could pardon any crimes.
