The sources document allegations of pay-to-play pardons and paid pardon brokers charging up to about $3 million, but none shows Trump himself selling pardons at $1 million to $2 million each, and the White House denies it.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… So, you know, so almost all the core principles that Trump ran on, he later betrayed, and then he added deep layers of corruption: massive corruption, insider trading, crypto rug pulls, you know, market manipulation in oil markets and commodities markets, accusations that he's selling pardons for $1 to $2 million each, which those accusations seem to be credible, and other examples of extreme corruption and lawlessness, and Trump saying himself that he doesn't have to adhere to any law whatsoever, he can do anything he wants, no one can stop him, basically thinking that he's God. …
The Health Ranger Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. A White House spokesperson denied that Trump was influenced by pardon brokers, but that is a party denial rather than an authoritative finding that the allegation is false.[3]
Context. CBS's 60 Minutes segment reports that pardon brokers sell access for fees of up to about $3 million, but describes brokers' claims and what they do, not Trump setting or receiving prices for pardons.[4]
Context. A House Judiciary Democrats staff report alleges a pay-to-play clemency system around Trump, but it is a partisan allegation and does not document a per-pardon price set by Trump.[1]
Context. Congressional Democrats launched investigations into whether clemency was driven by pay-to-play dynamics, which shows the allegation is under inquiry rather than established.[2]
Context. Alternet reports it is unclear whether Trump allies or anyone in the administration is selling pardons, which leaves the core allegation undetermined.[5]
Context. Reporting on Alina Habba describes an alleged $10 million-a-year arrangement tied to securing a pardon for a third party, which concerns an intermediary rather than Trump's own pricing.[6]
