Pardon is Trump’s 10th, with most of them awarded to supporters or conservative figures.
By Marc Fisher Marc Fisher Senior editor reporting on a wide range of topics Email Bio Follow May 16 at 4:50 PM They’d known each other for two decades, the New York real estate mogul and the Canadian-British owner of a transatlantic newspaper empire, working together as business partners on a Chicago skyscraper project.
“I suggested that he knew ‘better than anyone’ the antics of some U.S. prosecutors,” Black wrote in his account of Trump’s call in the National Post, a Toronto-based paper. The president has now pardoned 10 people, most of them conservative political figures or people who have supported or praised Trump. This week, in addition to Black, Trump pardoned Patrick Nolan, the former Republican leader of California’s state assembly and a friend of the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Nolan was convicted of racketeering after the FBI videotaped him accepting checks to support a bill to help a fictitious company open a shrimp processing plant.
Like Trump, Black is a colorful character who enjoys showing his wealth — both men owned private jets and multiple homes — and relished being politically incorrect. He was not eligible to serve his time in a minimum-security setting for white-collar criminals, so while he was imprisoned in a general population facility, he quipped that he was “one more unjustly imprisoned Black man.”
As the White House statement recounted it Wednesday, prosecutors alleged that Black “committed several acts of mail fraud and obstruction” but the Supreme Court “largely disagreed and overturned almost all charges in his case.”
