Executive Grant of Clemency for Andrew Zabavsky

Presidential Action January 22, 2025 Document 659

Summary

President Donald J. Trump has granted a full and unconditional pardon to Andrew Zabavsky, who was previously convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges in the District of Columbia. Zabavsky's convictions, which initially resulted in a 48-month prison sentence, three years of supervised release, and a $200 fine, have been completely nullified by this presidential clemency. This action, utilizing the president's constitutional powers, may spark political debate regarding the use of pardons, especially in cases involving serious federal offenses.
