WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed an executive order granting a full pardon to former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. related to a decades-old corruption charge, the White House said Tuesday.
DeBartolo pleaded guilty to a felony fraud charge in 1998 related to a payment to former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards to help secure a casino license. DeBartolo had to pay a $1 million fine and was given two years probation in return for his testimony against Edwards, a Democrat.

All crooks. All Dirty money. All Rich white Men buying their way out of trouble. America is dead. By the way a pardon is admission of guilt.
Ambitus
All these corrupt and easily corruptible people will owe him a big favor. That’s how he works.
Won’t be long before Al Capone is pardoned and granted clemency posthumously.
So bribery is ok now? 🤦🏾♂️

Nice hair 4 an old man. So young lmao
More campaign donations
Corruption rules!
Just unbelievable, more abuse of power of the office he holds
Trump favours the best people...🙄🇬🇧🇺🇸
Obama absolved the sentences of 1,937 convicts during his two terms in the White House. According to the Pew Research Center: 'Barack Obama ended his presidency having granted clemency to more people convicted of federal crimes than any chief executive in 64 years.
You're welcome Eddie....Can you do me a favor though?
daffi515 Trump is always impeached . DeBartolo is always guilty.
They were so unfair to him though! 🙄🙄
Not sure of the point in this. He pleaded guilty, paid a fine, served probation. I don't see the service of justice.
How do you pardon a person who pleads guilty and never did jail time?
