Moments ago, President Trump announced on Twitter that he will be pardoning right wing author, speaker, and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza today.

Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2018

D’Souza was convicted in 2012 of making an illegal campaign contribution to New York candidate Wendy Long.

UPDATE: D’Souza has responded on Twitter.

Obama & his stooges tried to extinguish my American dream & destroy my faith in America. Thank you @realDonaldTrump for fully restoring both — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) May 31, 2018

Developing story.
