verify, don't trust the Guardian or any news source
"commuted the sentence of a former business associate of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s scandal-plagued son."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/31/trump-pardon-jan-6-hunter-biden
"President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Jason Galanis
who aided Republican efforts
to impeach former President Joe Biden
while serving a prison sentence of over 14 years
for defrauding Native Americans and other investors."
"The White House did not explain the rationale for granting clemency to Galanis, who was sentenced in August 2017 in federal court in New York to 14 years and five months in prison for his role in a bond scheme that
defrauded the Oglala Sioux tribe and pension fund investors out of tens of millions of dollars."
"Jason Galanis and his codefendants engaged in market manipulation and the defrauding of shareholders, and they stole a large portion of the proceeds of tribal bonds
that were intended to fund economic development projects,”
Audrey Strauss, then-acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said in a statement after the sentencing. “Now Jason Galanis has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term that reflects the magnitude and pervasiveness of his crimes.”
"Trump last week pardoned Devon Archer, who was sentenced to a one-year prison term as part of the same fraud scheme involvingd Galanis and also went on to testify to the impeachment inquiry.
Galanis, who has said he unsuccessfully sought a pardon in Trump’s first term,
testified from prison to the House impeachment inquiry
led by Rep. James Comer against President Biden."
So The Guardian doesn't mention any of these facts, simply thaty Jason Galanis was an associate of Hunter Biden, not the fact that Jason Galanis made a deal to Impeach Joe Biden while in prison for his scumbag Trump style crimes.
"Hunter Biden testified to the House committee that he had only briefly met Galanis a decade earlier. The former president’s son was not implicated in the fraud scheme and the Republican impeachment effort fizzled."

"The judge ordered Galanis to forfeit about $80 million in proceeds and pay an equal amount in restitution.
Trump’s clemency order absolves him
of the financial penalties
as well as having to serve the remainder of his prison time."
whats that worth, Jason? how about a hundred Bitcoin? how about a thousand Bitcoin, sent offshore to Trump Inc. in the Bahamas?

Problems in paradise, and Google
The Finnish president's office said in a statement that Stubb's unannounced visit with Trump was "informal. " (so are my nuclear icebreaker glasses, fascist felon pervert)
Trump's meeting with Stubb took place a day after
Vice President JD Vance made an uninvited visit to Greenland,
a semi-autonomous territory of Finland's close Nordic ally Denmark. Vance accused Denmark of doing a poor job keeping Greenland safe.
Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in
"acquiring " Greenland,
part of a growing international focus on competition to control the Arctic. Denmark's government opposes such a move, as do most Greenland residents.
The Finnish president's office said in a statement that Stubb's unannounced visit with Trump was informal.
Trump told NBC News in an interview on Saturday that he would "never take military force off the table"
to accomplish his conquest but said he believe there was "a good possibility" it could be done without resorting to brutal Alabama style Nazi force.
Asked what message " acquiring" Greenland
would send to Russia and the rest of the world, Trump said,
“ I don’t really think about that. I don’t really care."
