    White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham claimed on Wednesday that President Donald Trump “barely knows” former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who has been linked to a possible pardon for Julian Assange.

    At a pre-trial hearing earlier on Wednesday, Assange asserted that he had been offered a pardon in exchange for publicly denying that Russia hacked Democratic National Committee servers during the 2016 election campaign.

    Rohrabacher admitted in 2017 that he had tried to broker a deal between Assange and the White House.

    'I saw his wife on television': Trump commuted Blagojevich's prison sentence after his wife attacked Comey and Mueller on Fox News
    • In roughly half a dozen Fox News appearances since April 2018, the wife of disgraced ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich urged President Donald Trump to step in and help get him out of prison.
    • Trump took notice, and has praised Patti Blagojevich as "one hell of a woman."
    • And as Trump on Tuesday announced he's commuting the ex-Illinois governor's 14-year sentence, he mentioned watching Patti on television.
    • "We have commuted the sentence of Rod Blagojevich. He served eight years in jail. That's a long time. And I watched his wife on television," Trump told reporters.
    • Patti tied former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, both big players in the Russia inquiry, to her husband's case. Trump adopted her tone as he publicly mulled over commuting Blagojevich.

    Trump pardoned a construction-company owner whose family donated over $200,000 to his campaign
    • President Donald Trump on Tuesday pardoned Paul Pogue, a construction-company owner who pleaded guilty in 2010 to underpaying his taxes by nearly half a million dollars.
    • Pogue's son and his daughter-in-law have donated over $200,000 to Trump's campaign since August, the Daily Beast reported, citing Federal Election Commission filings. Their previous donations to Republican campaigns did not surpass $10,000, the report said.
    • On Tuesday, Trump pardoned and commuted the sentences of nearly a dozen people, including former Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois.

    Who is Michael Milken, the ‘junk bond king’ Trump just pardoned?

    The 73-year-old financier, like others who have received pardons before him, had a coterie of Trump confidants championing his case. Nelson Peltz, a billionaire who threw Trump a fundraiser Saturday night, backed pardoning Milken, as did billionaire political donors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Fox host Maria Bartiromo, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and some of Trump’s New York friends.

  8. I'm fairly confident that Trump won't go on Anderson Cooper's show anytime soon.

    Barack Obama and Bill Clinton has pardoned more individuals including, those with shady dealings during their time. Hypocritical ET trolls like all extreme liberals act like they are pure as snow. We have the Bidens in Ukraine and China dealings and none of you ass clowns are even asking that they be investigated. What about James Comey declaring Hillary Clinton innocent even before he interviewed her over the 30,000 e-mails she deleted and the unsecure private server she used? Or Jussi Smollet having charges dropped by Kim Foxx over the Obama's political pressure? Or Felicity Huffman getting that joke of a sentence of 14 days for a crime with a maximum sentence of 20 years? Oh, you extreme liberal ET trolls love corrupt individuals yet, lecture us on what is right? LOLOLOLOLOL
