Dozens of individuals who received pardons or commutations from former President Donald Trump are now supporting his 2024 White House bid or spreading his false claims about the 2020 election, according to a Washington Post analysis. Figures like Joe Arpaio, Roger Stone, and Bernard Kerik, who were granted clemency by Trump, are actively endorsing him or donating to his campaign. Critics argue that Trump's pardons were controversial, often benefiting associates with ties to influential donors.
