Trump To Pardon Dinesh D’Souza
By Kate Riga | May 31, 2018 9:24 am

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will pardon Dinesh D’Souza, a right-wing commentator, author and filmmaker was was convicted in 2014 of using a “straw donor” to make an illegal campaign contribution.

Quote:
Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2018

It’s no surprise that Trump would take a shine to D’Souza, a vitriolic Obama hater who has cozied up to 45’s White House before.

D’Souza constantly attacked former President Barack Obama with racist jabs, posting a tweet with Obama using a selfie stick captioned “you can take the boy out of the ghetto” and once comparing the former President to ebola. He wrote an article in Forbes saying that Obama was under the influence of “Kenyan, anti-colonial” tendencies.

When D’Souza was convicted for the illegal contribution he made to a 2012 U.S. Senate campaign in New York, he claimed the prosecution was being spurred on by the Obama administration.

In August 2017, D’Souza visited Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka in the White House to promote his new book, in which he claims that liberalism is akin to Nazism.

Washington Post: Manhattan DA considering prosecuting Steve Bannon after Trump pardon

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is considering bringing state charges against Steve Bannon related to the same border wall fundraising campaign fraud scheme for which he was federally charged and then granted a presidential pardon, according to The Washington Post.

Discussions on whether a state case can be brought against Bannon for his role in the scheme are in the early stages by investigators in Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's Major Economic Crimes Bureau office, the Post reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the office's deliberations.

Bannon received a last-minute pardon from former President Donald Trump last month related to federal charges that he and ...
