Trump “is rewarded” with his supporters with presidential pardon

Weeks ago, Donald Trump issues an amnesty decisions from the stars of reality TV and former elected officials, who were defrauded and embezzled, and even from a former police officer in corruption, in what was considered an exploitation of this presidential authority to reward his supporters and supporters.

“The power of amnesty has always been a little controversial because it is an unlimited authority that the president enjoys, and most of the presidents have issued an amnesty decisions that seemed to serve their own interests, or at least doubt,” Law Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Kermet Roosevelt told AFP.

But Donald Trump exercises this power “without shame, and makes an amnesty decisions that appear to be in exchange for financial gifts,” the specialist notes.

Among the recently beneficiaries of the presidential amnesty is the senior donor of his election campaigns, in addition to Paul and Al -Kasak, the director of the Elderly Care House, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for tax evasion. Donald Trump’s mother and essak’s mother attended a dinner in April, and paid the income fee of one million dollars.

Unlike his predecessors, and his practices are the same in his first term, Donald Trump “does so much early in his mandate. Many presidents prefer to issue the most controversial amnesty decisions before leaving their positions, so that they do not have much time to hold political repercussions,” Kermit Roosevelt notes.

– “A deal like any other”
“There is no doubt that other presidents were accused that non -decent factors affected the amnesty decisions they issued,” says the former federal prosecutor and law professor at the University of Michigan Barbara McWeide in an opinion article in Bloomberg.

She refers to the amnesty granted by Gerald Ford to his predecessor Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal, and the amnesty that Bill Clinton gave to one of his senior praises and the amnesty that Joe Biden gave to his son Hunter.

But she knows that “Trump is unique in terms of dignity and boldness. For him, pardon is just a deal like other deals, provided that the accused is offered something valuable in return.”

“As long as this serves Trump politically or proves his narration from the rogue Ministry of Justice during the Biden era, the amnesty office is open to issuing decisions,” Mcwaid continues.

US President Donald Trump has excused the two stars of reality TV, the millionin Todd and Julie Chrisley, who condemned the tax and banking fraud, after the mediation of their daughter Savana Chrisley.

When she was invited to the Republican National Congress in July 2024, the latter indicated that her parents’ troubles are linked to their political trends, although the procedure against them dates back to the first time of Trump’s state.
– “Zubaiya” – in an open letter to the new director of the amnesty in the Ministry of Justice, the hard -line governor, Ed Martin, the Democratic Deputy in the House of Representatives Jimmy Raskin asks about the “standards” used to recommend the presidential pardon.

He accuses him of “supporting amnesty for people who declare political loyalty to President Trump or have enough money to buy his pardon by virtue of the fait accompli.”
Ed Martin, who is also overseeing a “working group on justice employment” in the era of the previous administration, does not hide the prominent party nature of the amnesty.

Commenting on the X platform on the pardon of Scott Jenkins, a former honest in Virginia, a debt of corruption, said that “no member of the movement will be abandoned, making America great again” (Maga) led by Trump.

Texas University of Texas Kovarski believes that Donald Trump, through “excessive pardon”, offends the exploitation of this authority.

In an opinion article in the New York Times, the expert accused Trump of practicing a “customer pardon”, that is, reducing the punishment for illegal behavior based on loyalty to power, through a clear pardon for his political allies.

According to Lee Kovarsky, “the characteristic of the customer pardon is the use of amnesty measures to make the regime loyalists less fearful of criminal punishment.”
