Donald Trump has posted a letter on social media appealing for a pardon on behalf of former Indiana Republican congressman Steve Buyer, who was sentenced to 22 months in jail for insider trading in 2023.
The letter to Trump, signed by five current members of Congress, is dated June 5, 2025, almost a year ago and several months after Buyer’s release. The president uploaded it to Truth Social Sunday without any accompanying comment, raising speculation that he is considering granting the pardon.
