Trumps benådningar undergräver kampen mot korruption

President Trump har benådat minst 15 tidigare förtroendevalda och medsammansvurna som dömts för korruptionsbrott sedan han återvände till ämbetet. Åtgärderna sammanfaller med omfattande nedskärningar inom justitiedepartementets enhet för offentlig integritet (Public Integrity Section).

President Trump beviljade fullständig benådning till individer som den tidigare stadsfullmäktigeledamoten i Las Vegas, Michele Fiore, som dömts för att ha förskingrat donationer avsedda för ett polismonument. Hon benådades veckor innan hennes planerade domsavkunnande i maj 2025. Andra mottagare inkluderar en sheriff från Virginia som dömts för att ha tagit emot mutor och den tidigare talmannen i Tennessees representanthus som varit inblandad i ett system med mutor och kickbacks.
