The Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House or related political committee in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to court records unsealed Tuesday in federal court.
The case is the latest legal twist in the waning days of President Donald Trump's administration after several of his top advisers have been convicted of federal criminal charges and as the possibility rises of Trump giving pardons to those who've been loyal to him.
The disclosure is in 20 pages of partially redacted documents made public by the DC District Court on Tuesday afternoon. The records show Chief Judge Beryl Howell's review in August of a request from prosecutors to access documents obtained in a search as part of a bribery-for-pardon investigation.

This must be about the Obama years
MSNBC references an Axios story which implies Trump OFFERED pardons to some one ? re: immigration. Sorry, very vague, that’s all I was able to catch
Axios, meanwhile, has nothing on it.
someone has posted the actual document on this thread..going to watch to see what 4chan does with it.
I’m smelling scared rabbits in the MSM. This isn’t a bad thing. They understand what is about to happen and this is a panic story.
Clearly FUD. No way a billionaire who donates a lot of money is seeking money for pardons. This is a pathetic and weak claim that reeks of sheer desperation. Sounds like we may have chance to overturn the election fraud.
If you do watch it, note that it often captures dead air and then the video starts a few minutes or more into the recording.

I thought Powell asked Trump not to pardon Flynn, because she wanted him exonerated via the court process.
Again CNN is just pulling a load out of the DeepState keister.
Smells like BS. Now that election fraud whistleblowers are coming out with their testimony, the Derp $tate is desperately trying another hoax story to discredit the WH and to dissuade State Legislators from doing their duty by decertifying the fraud.
You have to hand it to the deep state. They cover all their bases.
After the steal, Trump can’t do much his last two months EXCEPT pardon a bunch of people. What better way to try to ruin even that part of his presidency than to come up with a story that will make him think twice about really going strong with it. Hopefully, Trump effectively tells them to go to Hell and pardons like crazy.
Of course. Some out of control lib.
they must be out as its trending on twitter.
This is nothing more then Russian Hoax part II.
The Democrats set up the Russian Hoax long before the President won in 2016, this has all the marking of them setting the President Trump in case he won re-election and they would have four more years of investigations.
"Prosecutors hadn't provided evidence to the judge, however, of any direct payment, and instead showed evidence that a person was seeking clemency because of past and future political contributions."
but who who they be asking to pardon?
who would have more to gain from letting this out after the election??? Trump or biteme?
No because that is an allegation that came from a hacked laptop that wasn't hacked and has been debunked by the media that didn't print or investigate it. This, on the other hand, is true because they say so.
