Boosie Badazz Blasts $600K Pardon Scam, Reveals Hidden Truth

**Boosie Badazz Sues Pardon Brokers After $600,000 Deal Fails to Deliver Trump Clemency**

Boosie Badazz told a national audience on *60 Minutes* that he paid $600,000 to political operatives Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl in exchange for a promised pardon from President Trump. The rapper said the money was meant to secure clemency for his federal convictions, but no pardon was ever issued.

He is now suing the two men for breach of contract and seeking $300,000 back.

The case grew out of a July lawsuit that Boosie filed against Burkman and Wohl, alleging they misrepresented their influence in the Trump administration and even claimed that the president had already signed off on his pardon. ,

Burkman told reporters “We tried very, very hard.” The same report revealed that the two men were secretly pitching a $300,000 “pardon” scheme to another client.

### Background & Context

Boosie Badazz’s federal convictions date back to 2016, when he was sentenced for drug trafficking offenses.

After his release, he sought presidential clemency and turned to Burkman and Wohl, who market themselves as “pardon brokers.” Boosie said he handed them $600,000 after being led to believe that the payment would secure a pardon from President Trump.

In July, the rapper filed a lawsuit claiming the duo had “made it sound like they had major pull in Trump’s orbit” and even told him that the president had already signed off. He argued that the contract called for half of his money to be refunded if the pardon fell through.

Burkman denied any refund agreement, saying “We tried very, very hard.” The lawsuit also accused the brokers of fraud and misrepresentation.

A CBS investigation recorded Burkman and Wohl pitching a similar $300,000 scheme to a different individual. The *60 Minutes* report noted that some pardon brokers charge as much as $3 million for the same service. While the brokers deny wrongdoing, the segment states that their activities are not illegal.

### What Happens Next

Boosie Badazz is now trying to recover $300,000, asserting that the original contract stipulated a partial refund if the pardon did not materialize. The lawsuit seeks both monetary damages and an injunction against further deceptive practices.

Burkman and Wohl have denied any breach of agreement, insisting they “tried very, very hard” to secure the clemency.

The White House has responded to the broader issue by saying that spending money to lobby for clemency is a wasteful exercise. The *60 Minutes* segment concludes that while the brokers are not operating illegally, their business model raises ethical questions about the commodification of presidential pardons.

For Boosie, the financial loss remains substantial, as he has paid $600,000 with no pardon in return.

The case will now proceed through the courts, and its outcome could set a precedent for other individuals seeking to purchase clemency from political operatives. Until then, Boosie Badazz remains out of pocket and in legal limbo.
