Boosie Takes Fight over $600K Presidential Pardon Payment to Social Media
Boosie Badazz seeks $300,000 back, saying the lobbyists promised access to Trump and falsely claimed they had secured nine pardons.
- Rapper Boosie Badazz is suing lobbyists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman for $300,000, alleging they failed to secure a presidential pardon after he paid their firm $600,000 earlier this year.
- After paying $600,000, Boosie sought the duo's help for 2023 federal gun charges because they claimed they could persuade President Donald Trump, boasting they "were talking like they had Trump on speed dial."
- Notus reported that while the lobbyists claimed to have secured nine prior pardons, federal disclosures indicate only one successful case; right-wing figures including Laura Loomer and Mike Cernovich denied involvement in the process.
- Burkman filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming he never saw the signed retainer agreement, while JM Burkman & Associates asserts they are not contractually obligated to return any payments.
- This dispute illustrates an economy built around lobbyists claiming access to President Donald Trump for clemency, though experts note that purchasing a pardon would constitute bribery under federal law.
