Trump pardons Nikola founder Trevor Milton in securities fraud case

There seems to be a theme to Trump's pardons...

>The pardon came two weeks after federal prosecutors urged District Court Judge Edgardo Ramos to order Milton to pay restitution of $680 million to Nikola shareholders, and another $15.2 million to Peter Hicks, a victim of his wire fraud.

>Because of the pardon, Ramos could not order restitution of any kind.

....

>Federal campaign finance records indicate that 2024 was the first year Milton ever made six-figure political contributions.
