About

Free the Millionaires tracks clemency grants — pardons and commutations — from January 2025 onward.

If you are wondering if Mr. Trump shows favoritism to the rich, check out this article from the CATO Institute: President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches; this from NBC Trump's pardons forgive financial crimes that came with hundreds of millions in punishments (check out the graph); or Vanity Fair's Have Mercy: The Market for Pardons in Trump's Wild West Wing, on how wealthy individuals pay for pardon advocacy. While we realize not everyone on this list is a millionaire, enough of them are to make this stand out as an exception when compared to any previous president.

We will continue to add to this list as we find more people who have been pardoned or commuted by the current administration.
