Trump Issues Series of Pardons to Entertainment and Real Estate Executives

Former President Trump has pardoned Tim Leiweke, the co-founder of the Oak View Group and a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, just months after the Justice Department, under his administration, indicted him for bid-rigging. Leiweke, who has been involved in high-profile projects such as the Climate Pledge Arena and the UBS Arena, received a pardon amid a string of similar actions taken by Trump for various individuals charged by his own Justice Department. This move has sparked discussions regarding the implications and motivations behind the pardons issued to those previously prosecuted under his tenure.
