Strawberry's pardon
The White House provided a statement on the pardon to Fox News.
The outlet reports that statement as stating:
President Trump has approved a pardon for Darryl Strawberry, three-time World Series champion and eight-time MLB All-Star. Mr. Strawberry served time and paid back taxes after pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion. Following his career, Mr. Strawberry found faith in Christianity and has been sober for over a decade – he has become active in ministry and started a recovery center which still operates today.
This comes after Strawberry pleaded guilty, in 1995, to a federal tax charge.
The Post reports:
The former slugger was sentenced to three years’ probation and repaid $350,000 in back taxes and penalties following his guilty plea, in addition to serving six months of home confinement.
Strawberry also appeared, at one point, on Trump's show "The Apprentice."
Two more pardons
Breitbart News reports that President Trump has issued at least two other pardons, in addition to Strawberry's.
Per the outlet:
President Donald Trump has pardoned a former top Tennessee lawmaker and his chief of staff — two Republicans who say they were unfairly targeted by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ). The White House confirmed Friday to news outlets that the president had pardoned former Tennessee state House Speaker Glen Casada (R) and his former chief of staff Cade Cothren. Both had pleaded not guilty but were convicted of corruption charges.
The outlet explains that Casada and Cothren funneled "money to themselves using a political consulting firm . . . to conceal their involvement." Casada was sentenced to three years in prison, and Cothren was sentenced to two and a half.
The White House explained why Trump went ahead and pardoned these individuals.
It stated:
The Biden Department of Justice significantly over-prosecuted these individuals for a minor issue involving constituent mailers — which were billed at competitive prices, never received a complaint from legislators, and resulted in a net profit loss of less than $5,000. The Biden DOJ responded with an armed raid, perp walk and suggested sentences exceeding 10 years – penalties normally reserved for multimillion dollar fraudsters.
