The POTUS believes that he can pardon himself but I'm not sure that he had much support from learned legal minds.
I believe that the US Justice Department took the view that the POTUS cannot be indicted or prosecuted back in Tricky Dicky's day. I think the reason was that it wouldn't be a good look, as well as blurring the separation of powers. I guess it would also mean that the issue of a POTUS pardoning him/herself should not arise.
