Trump's Pardons Are For Sale Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl told 60 Minutes $300,000 could help a felon get a Trump Pardon. Three hundred grand. When a Justice is For Sale, you can't afford it. Congress Won't Stop Trump #TrumpsCorruptCongress
60 Minutes @60Minutes
In a hidden-camera operation, pardon brokers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said that for $300,000, they could help a felon get a pardon from the president. They said their services included working with influencers to advocate for his case.
Look, you can't, you can't just submit a pardon application. It doesn't,it doesn't work that way.
Richard Hanania @RichardHanania
Incredible journalism.
60 Minutes has a convicted felon go undercover to talk to "pardon brokers," people who will try to get you a pardon from Trump if you pay them.
This administration's corruption has created entire new job categories.

Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them
It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.
