Did Donald Tr::mp pardon Albert Pirro?
In January 2021, President Donald Tr::mp issued a last-minute full pardon to Al Pirro without explaining the rationalization behind his clemency.
“Today, President Donald J. Tr::mp granted a full pardon to Albert J. Pirro, Jr.,” Tr::mp’s spokesman, Judd Deere, said in a one-line statement at the time.
The former president made the decision 45 minutes before Joe Biden was sworn in office.

At the time, the White House announced Tr::mp had pardoned 73 other people, and commuted the criminal sentences of 70 individuals.
Tr::mp also pardoned former campaign chief Steve Bannon, GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy, rapper Lil Wayne and scores of others on his way out of the White House.
Why is Donald Tr::mp being investigated?
Manhattan DA Cyr::s Vanc3 has been probing the Tr::mp Organization’s finances as well as Tr::mp’s personal monetary affairs for at least two years, court records show.
He convened a special grand jury to consider evidence in a criminal investigation into Tr::mp’s finances, the Associated Press reported.
The development signals that prosecutors are moving toward seeking charges against the former president in their investigation, which included a lengthy battle of Tr::mp’s tax returns.
Vance’s investigation concerns a variety of matters, such as hush-money payments paid to women on Tr::mp’s behalf, property valuations and employee compensation.
The Democratic prosecutor has been using an investigative grand jury through the course of his probe to issue subpoenas and obtain documents.
The investigation also includes scrutiny of Tr::mp’s relationship with his lenders, a land donation he made to qualify for an income tax deduction, and tax write-offs his company claimed on millions of dollars in consulting fees it paid.
The former president’s business dealings are also currently being investigated by New York State’s Attorney General.
The AG’s office confirmed last week that the probe into the organization was “no longer civil,” and that the company was being investigated in a “criminal capacity.”
