I am no lawyer by any means. My guess is yes he could.
But I doubt there is any way short of some some very substantial evidence he would do anything.
Based on the McDonnell case from Virginia last SCOTUS term it is nearly impossible to prove a quid pro quo. Short of someone signing a statement, I doubt there is much he could do.

That is why we need informed citizens to do what they are supposed to do.
