There was talk last week that President Trump would pardon a list of people before leaving office and that Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were on the list.
Fox News is now saying that it is anticipated that he will give 50 to 100 commutations, and it will possibly be achieved by Lil Wayne. The veteran rapper took fans by surprise during the lead up to the 2020 Elections, when he went on social media to publicly express his support for Trump's campaign.
Besides what he's done for criminal reform so far, the platinum initiative would give true ownership to the group. "In his caption, he said, "He listened to what we had to say today and told him that he would and will get it done.
Of course this was met with a lot of criticism but he is set to win a favor in return with a pardon which Trump is projected to execute on Tuesday or Wednesday before Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Wayne pled guilty in federal court last month to illegally possessing a loaded weapon along with drugs while traveling to Miami on a private jet a year ago. Police had said that they found a gold-plated Remington 1911, .45-caliber handgun loaded with 6 rounds of ammunition. They also claimed they found a bag containing personal use amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
Fox reports that there was a meeting at the White House on Sunday afternoon to finalize the list of pardons and commutations and that sources with knowledge of the process say Trump is not expected to grant protective pardons for any members of his family, nor is he expected to attempt to issue a pardon for himself.
