WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—With thousands of desperate criminals seeking pardons on Donald J. Trump’s last full day in office, the White House issued a warning about scammers selling counterfeit pardons online.
According to the advisory, many pardon buyers have been duped by such fraudulent Web sites as AuthenticTrumpPardons.com, which purports to offer clemency for as little as twenty-five thousand dollars a pardon.
“That is not a Web site authorized by Donald J. Trump,” the White House statement read. “It originates from a server in Malaysia.”
Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said that fraudsters selling phony pardons are “the lowest of the low.”
“It’s very sad that there are scammers out there willing to take advantage of well-meaning felons who are sincerely trying to purchase a pardon,” Meadows said. “My advice is this: if someone is trying to sell you a pardon for less than two million dollars, it’s fake.”
