Scholarship & press
In granting “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon,” Trump cited Buyer’s career as a judge advocate general in the Army and in the House that was “distinguished and highly productive.”
The pardon was dated Thursday and released by the White House late Friday.
Buyer said the pardon “corrects a politically motivated prosecution” and that it was “horrific to be imprisoned for a crime that I did not commit.”
The Supreme Court in May rejected Buyer’s appeal without comment or noted dissent.
