Boosie Badazz says the operatives promised a pardon they never delivered, while they dispute any refund agreement and call the request unwarranted.
On Monday, rapper Boosie Badazz entered arbitration against MAGA operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, seeking to recover $300,000 after they failed to deliver a promised pardon from President Donald Trump.
Boosie hired the lobbyists last September after they aggressively claimed to have direct access to Trump, paying $600,000 for services that NOTUS reported may have been a scam.
The contract included a partial refund provision, yet JM Burkman & Associates claims no such agreement exists and asserts it worked harder for Boosie than any other client.
White House officials denied knowing the operatives, and House Speaker Mike Johnson's office rejected any connection, despite Burkman's claim the pardon was "in hand and is ready to sign."
Wohl and Burkman, previously convicted felons who paid $1.25 million in a robocall settlement, now face arbitration while a White House aide warned their involvement could harm clemency chances.
