Boosie Badazz legal dispute over presidential pardon

Overview

Rapper Boosie Badazz is pursuing legal action against political operatives Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl of JM Burkman & Associates. The artist alleges he was scammed out of $600,000 under the false pretense that the payment would secure a presidential pardon from Donald Trump for a federal firearms conviction.

Boosie claims the agreement contained a provision to return half the funds if clemency was not granted, a claim the lobbyists deny. The dispute, which has been featured in a ‘60 Minutes’ segment titled ‘The Pardon Economy,’ is currently being addressed through an arbitration claim and civil litigation. Boosie has characterized the situation as a breach of contract and a business matter.
