Did Donald Trump Seriously Sell Pardons?

> "Giuliani also asked Ms. Dunphy if she knew anyone in need of a pardon, telling her that he was selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split. He told Ms. Dunphy that she could refer individuals seeking pardons to him, so long as they did not go through “the normal channels” of the Office of the Pardon Attorney, because correspondence going to that office would be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act"

Full List of US Presidents Who Have Pardoned Relatives

> Donald Trump

> Charles Kushner – Father of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, convicted of tax evasion and witness tampering, and recently nominated by Trump as the U.S.'s ambassador to France.

🤔

Obviously there are legitimate reasons why Biden pardoning his son should give people pause, but Trump should give up his 'holier-than-thou' attitude in calling Biden's pardon a "miscarriage of justice," when he has not only pardoned a relative, but is literally appointing him to be ambassador to France. And let's not forget Trump pardoned some of the worst people in America:

> Indeed, by any fair measure, Trump’s record on pardons is arguably the worst in American history. During his first term, he effectively wielded his pardon power as a corrupt weapon, rewarding loyalists, completing cover-ups, undermining federal law enforcement, and doling out perverse favors to the politically connected.

> Trump saw presidential pardons as get-out-of-jail-free cards for his friends and associates, engaging in the kind of brazen corruption that would’ve defined his term were it not eclipsed by other breathtaking scandals.
