Vox: Trump pardons billionaire fraudster who wrote glowing book about him
In 2015, Trump assured Conrad Black he “won’t forget” his support for him. He followed through on his promise.
Trump’s latest pardon is raising a lot of eyebrows. Conrad Black was convicted of fraud and obstruction of justice.
There are thousands of people behind bars, many serving decades-long sentences for low level drug crimes, who deserve pardons. The way Trump keeps handing them out to political cronies and right-wing reactionaries is a pure perversion of the pardon power. https://t.co/RHZjeCmS1k
