- President Donald Trump issued a full pardon to Tim Leiweke, who was indicted for conspiring to rig a public university’s arena bidding process.
- Leiweke allegedly collaborated with a rival CEO to manipulate the $375 million, 15,000-seat Moody Center project at the University of Texas.
- The pardon came just before Leiweke was scheduled for a deposition in a separate civil antitrust lawsuit involving his former company.
- Observers criticized Trump for using pardon powers to shield wealthy individuals accused of white-collar crimes from imprisonment.
