Donald Trump's Last-Minute Pardon In 2021 Stifles Major DOJ Investigation: Questions Raised Over Jared Kushner's Role
- 5 months ago
As the 2024 presidential race heats up, fresh doubts have surfaced regarding a pardon issued by former President Donald Trump to Jonathan Braun in the closing moments of his term in 2021, and the role played by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
According to The New York Times report, the Trump pardon “destroyed” a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into predatory lending across the country.
Braun, a New Yorker, was serving a 10-year sentence for running a large marijuana ring. At the time of his pardon, Braun was under investigation for predatory lending and making violent threats against his victims.
Braun was reportedly negotiating with the DOJ to provide evidence against others in the industry at the time of his pardon.
