NBC talked about the lobbyist business built on Trump's pardons

The attempt to obtain clemency from US President Donald Trump has become big business for lobbying and consulting firms close to the White House. This was reported by NBC News on Saturday, May 31.

"Wealthy applicants are willing to spend millions of dollars to get their cases in the hands of the right people," the article says.

The TV channel claims that there is no set rate for assistance in pardoning. At the same time, the sources said they were aware of the client's offer of $5 million for assistance in transferring the case to Trump.

"It's like the Wild West. In fact, you can charge any fee you want," the TV channel quoted Trump's ally and lobbyist as saying.

Since Trump took office in January, he has pardoned or granted executive clemency to more than 1,500 people.

Trump said on March 17 that the pardons signed by Biden were not legally binding, as they were signed by an automatic device reproducing the signature. According to him, the former president of the United States might not have had a clue that the relevant documents could have been signed.
