Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos said Tuesday that his lawyers have asked for a pardon from President Trump.
“My lawyers have applied for a pardon from the president for me,” Papadopoulos said in an interview with Reuters, adding that the request was made a few days ago.
“If I’m offered one I would love to accept it, of course,” he told the outlet.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
Papadopoulos served 12 days of a two-week prison sentence last year for lying to FBI agents about his contact with individuals linked to Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Well why the heck not. The only people who have to actually pay for their crimes now are regular Joes. If you have fame or fortune you can get away with just about anything.
