President Trump has pardoned several celebrities, including reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, rapper NBA YoungBoy, and actor Jay Johnston, involved in the January 6th Capitol riot. Other pardons include former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (previously commuted), and rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. The Chrisleys were convicted of fraud and tax evasion, while NBA YoungBoy faced weapons charges. Trump's rationale often cited the celebrities' status as a factor in their prosecution.
