Trump Grants Quiet Clemency to Ex-Rep Stephen Buyer After SCOTUS Snub

President Donald Trump quietly pardoned former Indiana congressman Stephen Buyer, who was convicted on insider-trading–related charges, as scrutiny over clemency grows in his second term. The pardon followed Buyer’s bid to overturn the conviction being declined by the Supreme Court and was endorsed by current and former Republicans, part of Trump’s broader use of the pardon power amid talk of more pardons.
