Trump pardons former GOP congressman Michael Grimm
President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to former New York Congressman Michael Grimm on Wednesday. Grimm, who served from 2011 to 2015, resigned after pleading guilty to tax fraud in 2014. Following his congressional career, he made an unsuccessful attempt to return to politics in 2018. In addition to Grimm’s pardon, Trump also pardoned James and Marlene Kernan, who had been convicted of employing a convicted felon. This comes shortly after Trump pardoned reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022. The situation is still developing.
