As Paul Walczak awaited sentencing early this year, his best hope for avoiding prison time rested with the newly inaugurated president.
Mr. Walczak, a former nursing home executive who had pleaded guilty
to tax crimes days after the 2024 election, submitted a pardon
application to President Trump around Inauguration Day. The
application focused not solely on Mr. Walczak’s offenses but also on
the political activity of his mother, Elizabeth Fago.
Ms. Fago had raised millions of dollars for Mr. Trump’s campaigns and
those of other Republicans, the application said. It also highlighted
her connections to an effort to sabotage Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s 2020 campaign by publicizing the addiction diary of his daughter Ashley
Biden — an episode that drew law enforcement scrutiny.
Trump doesn't even try to hide his corruption.
