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.

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.

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...🙄🇬🇧🇺🇸

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! 🙄🙄

How do you pardon a person who pleads guilty and never did jail time?
