President Donald Trump has pardoned several celebrities including reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, rapper NBA YoungBoy, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, actor Jay Johnston, and rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, among others, during his time in office.
A federal judge dismissed former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich's lawsuit attempting to reverse a ban on his return to public office, using Dr. Seuss' "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" to emphasize his decision. The judge debunked Blagojevich's claims and highlighted that a federal court cannot intervene in a legislative impeachment proceeding. Blagojevich, who was impeached and imprisoned for political crimes, filed the lawsuit in 2021, representing himself, but the judge ultimately dismissed the case, stating that the courthouse is no place for a publicity stunt.
