Trump Pardons Abramoff partner Adam Kidan, Texan Jack Harvard | Entertainment

After he was released from prison in 2009, Kidan worked for or led multiple employment agencies or staffing companies that helped secure entry-level jobs for more than 250,000 people, the White House said. Kidan is a Republican donor.

Harvard, a former mayor of Plano, Texas, in the 1980s, was convicted of bank fraud. The White House said Trump pardoned him because of his post-conviction record, which included protecting and raising endangered animals and allowing US troops to train on his land for free.
