Trump commutes donor Imaad Zuberi's foreign-lobbying sentence
Received a presidential commutation lifting his 12-year federal sentence, $1.75 million fine, and $15.7 million restitution order. The underlying convictions covered FARA violations, tax evasion, illegal foreign and conduit campaign contributions, and witness tampering. His criminal defense was handled by David Warrington, now Trump's White House counsel (recused from the clemency deliberations per the White House).
Imaad Zuberi routes $900K to Trump inaugural via shell company
Routed a $900,000 donation through a shell company to the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee — the conduit-contribution offense he later pleaded guilty to in 2019. The donation was disguised to evade federal source-disclosure requirements. Eight years later, in May 2025, Trump commuted the 12-year federal sentence Zuberi was serving for this and related offenses.
