Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

Julio Herrera Velutini really wanted a pardon.

A billionaire banker from a prominent Venezuelan family, Mr. Herrera faced felony bribery charges in the United States and struck an unusually lenient plea deal in August 2025 for a misdemeanor campaign finance violation. But he felt that reduced charge was still a stain on his record.

So Mr. Herrera deployed his lawyer, Christopher M. Kise, the former Florida solicitor general who was on Mr. Trump’s personal legal team, to help with a plea for clemency. His 27-year-old daughter, Isabela Herrera, who is an American citizen, donated $3.5 million to a super PAC tied to Mr. Trump. But as of last fall, the pardon remained elusive.

Then the Herrera family hired Alina Habba, who had been one of Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers and at the time was an adviser at the Justice Department. They offered her $10 million a year for four years along with a range of bonuses. In total, including bonuses, she was guaranteed more than $50 million over four years, according to interviews and documents obtained by The New York Times.

And by "close," you little Goebbels mean Trump once shook her hand and said hello at a party...

More smears and slander by the "Voice of the Reich."

Everybody with ties to trump is a grifter. Habba always seemed bad, but I didn't think she was this bad.
 
Some of the worst most despicable pardons Trump has given are to a slate of fraudsters each stealing millions/billions from average people, many from their savings and pensions.

Many of them plead guilty and were in the restitution stage and being forced to pay out all the money they had left from the theft. In some cases hundreds of millions going back to the victims, which represented only a small recovery, but was something.

Then Trump pardoned them and they did not have to repay any of it. But Trump's pardon broker made sure he got a good cut of the 'savings' he secured for them.

"The sequence of events raises questions about how Mr. Herrera secured the pardon and who might have helped him. People familiar with Ms. Habba’s contract said they believed that she was brought in to help with Mr. Herrera’s push for a pardon and expressed surprise at the scale of the compensation.

MAGA morons knew Trump was never actually there to clean up corruption, and they never gave a shit about sound economic policy or foreign policy.

Their votes for Trump were strictly based on the psychology of how they felt about transgenders, blacks, Mexicans, immigrants, feminists.
