Trump has issued several pardons in 2025, including:
- Glen Casada (former Tennessee House speaker) and Cade Cothren (former aide) for public corruption charges. This pardon followed their prison sentences and related controversy over taxpayer-funded mail contracts.
- Darryl Strawberry (former MLB star) for a tax evasion conviction from the 1990s; he had served time and later founded a recovery center and ministry.
- Changpeng Zhao (cryptocurrency exchange founder) in October 2025 for a money-laundering related case; this pardon drew international attention and commentary.
- Also noted in 2025 coverage were clemencies granted to other figures, including a broader pattern of last-minute pardons and commutations. For a fuller list and context, please refer to the latest official White House or Justice Department clemency summaries.
If you’d like, I can pull a precise, up-to-date list of all clemencies issued by President Trump in 2025 and summarize each case (convicted person, offense, sentence), with citations.
