Type: FavoritismMay 16 2019 Severity: About: Pardons
Donald Trump used his pardon powers for political purposes yet again, this time pardoning a billionaire friend who wrote a laudatory book about him. The pardon was for Conrad Black, a personal friend of Donald's who was convicted of fraud and obstruction of justice back in 2007. Black also just so happened to write a book bowing down to Trump and his supposed political genius, of which Donald has publicly thanked him for.
