Boosie Badazz Files Lawsuit Over Unfulfilled $600,000 Trump Pardon

Rapper Boosie Badazz, whose legal name is Torence Hatch, has initiated legal action against political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, claiming he paid $600,000 for a presidential pardon from former President Trump that was never granted. According to a report by NOTUS, Boosie alleges that he was promised the pardon after striking a deal with Wohl and Burkman last fall, who claimed to have significant influence in Trump's circle. On New Year's Day, Boosie's lawyer reportedly received a call stating that Trump had signed the pardon, but it was never publicly announced. Boosie is seeking a refund of $300,000, citing a contract clause that stipulates a partial refund if the pardon was not delivered. Burkman has stated that no refund agreement exists and that their firm is financially constrained due to past legal issues. A White House official denied that Wohl and Burkman had any involvement in the pardon process, suggesting that their participation could negatively affect an applicant's chances. Boosie did not receive clemency but has since been sentenced to time served on a federal gun case and remains optimistic about a separate pardon application submitted directly to the White House.
