Lobbyists close to Republican President Donald Trump say their going rate to advocate for a pardon is $1 million

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-presidential-pardon-process-dda97c15

This term, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people on his first day and since granted clemency to a further 87 people and companies. The new approach has spawned a pardon-shopping industry where lobbyists say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists success fees as much as $6 million.

"They are financed, lubricated and sustained by precisely these kinds of quid-pro-quo arrangements. The end point is not merely corruption, but entrenchment: a political order in which crime is rewarded, enforcement is optional and loyalty is currency.

This dynamic not only rewards crime but incentivizes it."

Authoritarian systems do not emerge spontaneously."

"Thanks to Donald Trump, 2025 was a good year … for white-collar criminals. ...

For this coterie of fraudsters and tax evaders, the past year has been a cresting wave of successes: the abandonment of seeming slam-dunk prosecutions, presidential pardons for even the most egregious crimes, and a steady hollowing out of the agencies tasked with holding them to account."
