Rapper\u00a0Boosie<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is suing\u00a0Jacob Wohl<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jack Burkman<\/span><\/strong>, two pro-Trump lobbyists whom he believed would help him get a pardon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trump administration has repeatedly been accused of pay-for-play tactics for those seeking a presidential pardon<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boosie had previously been convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and was sentenced to 10 days in prison and three years of supervised release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boosie paid the two $600,000 at the beginning of the year after they told him that President\u00a0<\/span>Donald Trump<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>could get him a pardon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pardon never happened, and Boosie decided to sue the duo for $300,000, hoping to get some of his money back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burkman filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming that \u201cnever saw the retainer agreement purportedly signed by Mr. Hatch until after this arbitration was commenced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
