Trump grants full pardon to ex-Indiana GOP Rep. Steve Buyer, who served 22 months in prison. Buyer, once a congressman, maintains innocence.
The White House has issued a full, unconditional pardon for former Indiana congressman Steve Buyer, who was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months for insider trading. Buyer, who has since been released, maintains his innocence and argues the prosecution was politically motivated. The pardon follows months of letters from Republicans urging clemency and comes amid a broader push by the Trump administration to grant pardons in white‑collar cases.
