Convicted Fraudsters and Wealthy Donors: A Look Into Trump's Pardons - Amanpour and Company PBS
Since the start of his second term, Trump has pardoned more than 1,800 people. Over the weekend Josh Nass, a New York attorney and lobbyist, was charged with extorting money from his former client Joseph Schwartz. A nursing home executive convicted of tax crimes, Schwartz reportedly paid Nass $100,000 to get him clemency. Ahead of this development, investigative reporter Kenneth Vogel joined the show to discuss the emergence of what he calls a "pardon industry." - Originally aired on March 16, 2026.
