Boosie Badazz Still Fighting to Get His $600K Back After Trump Pardon Never Came
The rapper says he paid two political operatives $600,000 for a pardon that never materialized — and he's still chasing a refund months later.
Boosie Badazz's months-long fight to recover $600,000 he says he paid lobbyists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl for a Trump pardon that never arrived remains unresolved. The rapper paid the pair to help secure clemency on a federal felon-firearm charge; a pardon his lawyer said had been secured never materialized, and a contract clause he says promised a 50% refund if that happened has gone unpaid. Burkman and Wohl dispute that any refund provision was ever agreed to. The White House has said neither man has any affiliation with its clemency process.
