आंकड़ों में
American rapper Boosie Badazz claimed that he paid two political lobbyists $600,000 in order to obtain a presidential pardon from Donald Trump to clear his sentence for a gun possession charge. However, despite the promise of the lobbyists he was allegedly connected to, the pardon never arrived; officials on behalf of the White House stated that no pardon application had been made.
Upon the failure of the pardon, the rapper initiated an arbitration process, relying on a clause in the contract stating that half of the money paid would be refunded if a pardon could not be secured. The lobbyists, Jacob Wohl and John Burkman, argue that such a refund clause was never agreed upon and is not included in the contract, opposing the rapper's demand.
The lobbyists also stated in their announcement that Boosie's arrest for a violent crime in Texas this year made the chance of receiving a pardon much more difficult. The rapper was convicted in federal court in San Diego in January 2026, which counted as serving his prison sentence over time, and he avoided additional prison time.
