He’s been jockeying for a pardon for a long time now, but he made the mistake of cozying up to Biden during the election.
Not even staging an interview to talk about how he finally saw the light and came around on MAGA can save him now.
I think.there are other considerations at play.
Namely how much he's willing to pay / funnel to Trump.
My understanding was that he had no wealth to speak of.
That is publicly known, I'm sure. And if he has nothing of the billions he had stashed away anywhere, then there is nothing to offer Trump anyway and it will go nowhere.
