President Trump signed a flurry of commutations and pardons on Wednesday for a rapper, an Army officer, TV stars, former politicians, and others charged in “cases of government overreach,” an official reportedly said.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, President Trump said he will grant full pardons to TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were sentenced in 2022 for an alleged conspiracy to defraud banks and defrauding the IRS.
The two have been officially pardoned, according to Fox’s Patrick Ward:

Also pardoned was 1st Lieutenant Mark Bashaw, who was kicked out of the Army and court-martialed for “failure to obey lawful orders” when he refused to comply with the Biden Regime’s unconstitutional COVID-19 requirements, The Gateway Pundit previously reported. Bashaw was the first to be persecuted with a court-martial for his refusal to abide by COVID tyranny.
Per WKOW 27,
One notable name was Michael Grimm, the former New York congressman who served seven months in prison for tax evasion a decade ago, according to a White House official. That pardon was first reported by Spectrum News 1.
Other pardons included:
- Former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland, who was convicted twice in federal criminal cases.
- Kentrell Gaulden, the rapper who goes by NBA YoungBoy and was convicted in a federal gun crimes case.
- Kevin Eric Baisden, who was convicted of fraud. An official said he “suffered from substance abuse issues” in his teens and 20s “which led him to be convicted and arrested on a number of nonviolent misdemeanor offenses.” The official said he has been sober for “nearly 14 years” and is “set to graduate from law school, but his criminal record continues to follow him and might not be admitted to state bars.”
- Mark Bashaw, an officer who formerly served at the Army Public Health Center and was convicted by a special court-martial of violating lawful orders to comply with COVID-19 mitigation measures, per the Army Times.
- Tanner Mansell and John Moore Jr., who one official said “are cases of government overreach. They were charged with theft of property within special maritime jurisdiction of the United States felony offense and they were convicted in 2022.” Each was sentenced “to one year probation,” the official added.
President Trump also commuted the prison sentences of eight individuals.
Those who received commutations include Larry Hoover, co-founder of the Chicago’s Gangster Disciples gang, serving multiple life sentences on murder charges.
CBS’s Jennifer Jacobs reports that President Trump signed actions on behalf of “20-some people.”
