Donald Trump just signed a new executive order that will create a task force aimed at eliminating fraud. He even posted a picture of himself with JD Vance in the Oval Office, calling it an example of him keeping promises. As you might expect, many were quick to remind him not only of his own past fraud allegations, but also of the long list of people charged with fraud whom he has pardoned over the last year.
One X user went ahead and named them: Jason Galanis, arrested for a $200 million securities fraud against a pensioners’ fund; Lawrence Duran, indicted for a $205 million Medicare fraud; and even reality TV stars Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, who were fairly unapologetic about their $30 million bank fraud and instead claimed that Trump pardoned them because of God. And that’s just the highlight reel.
