President Donald Trump has quietly pardoned a former Republican congressman.
The White House announced that it was pardoning Stephen Buyer, but did so with less pomp and circumstance than it has done for other pardons, like those who raided the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Buyer, 67, was convicted on four federal charges tied to hundreds of thousands of dollars in illicit gains. He was ordered to forfeit approximately $350,000—the amount he made from the scheme—and pay a $10,000 fine. He was sentenced to 22 months in prison in September 2023.
