Trump Pardons Convicted Fraudster After Earlier Clemency Grant​

A San Diego businesswoman who was granted clemency by Donald Trump in 2021 and later convicted on new fraud charges received a pardon from the president on Thursday, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The pardon involves Adriana Camberos, 55, convicted by jurors in 2024 of making tens of millions of dollars by selling wholesale groceries after lying to manufacturers about where the products would be sold, according to the Justice Department. Camberos was released from Bureau of Prisons custody on Thursday, according to an agency website.

Her brother, Andres, who was convicted with her at trial in 2024, also received a Trump pardon, the White House official said.

Separately, Terren Peizer, who was convicted in 2024 of insider trading and sentenced last year to 42 months in prison, also received a pardon, according to the White House official.

She was targeted and wrongly convicted by a weaponized Justice Department under an illegal administration whose leader suffered from mental collapse and could barely stay awake during a feeble attempt to look tough on crime in order to draw attention away from his unhinged and failing economy, approval, and handling of inflation.

Understandably, there's a special place in his heart for felons who commit fraud.

Trump pardons 5 former NFL players for crimes ranging from perjury/fraud to drug trafficking​

The pardons were announced by White House pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson. Ex-NFL players Joe Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon were granted the clemency.

“As football reminds us, excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to rise again. So is our nation,” Johnson wrote on the social media site X, as she thanked Trump for his “continued commitment to second chances.”

Klecko, a former star for the New York Jets, pleaded guilty to perjury after lying to a federal grand jury that was investigating insurance fraud.

Newton, an offensive lineman, pleaded guilty to a federal drug trafficking charge after authorities discovered $10,000 in his pickup truck as well as 175 pounds of marijuana in an accompanying car driven by another man.

Henry, who played for the Denver Broncos, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine for financing a drug ring that moved the drug between Colorado and Montana.

Lewis' crime was also drug related and Cannon was guilty of counterfeiting. There doesn't seem to be any particular justification for the clemency other than 'they play football' and have grit.
