Pardon me! Trump White House pay to play

 

Headline:  New York Times, 1/16/2026 (highlight added)

Kenneth P. Vogel and Susanne Craig report:

In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence. 

Rather than taking advantage of that second chance, prosecutors said, Ms. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud. 

This week, Mr. Trump pardoned both siblings, marking the second time he had opened the prison gates for Ms. Camberos. 

Their pardons were among a handful of clemency grants quietly issued by Mr. Trump on Thursday and Friday.
