Overview

• A U.S. Senate lobbying registration, flagged by LegiStorm, lists J.M. Burkman & Associates with the stated objective of seeking a presidential pardon for Boosie Badazz.
• The named lobbyists are Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, who hold Ohio convictions tied to 2020 voter‑suppression robocalls and pleaded no contest in a related Michigan case with sentencing set for December 1.
• Boosie pleaded guilty on August 26 to one federal count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and is scheduled to be sentenced on November 21 in San Diego.
• Federal prosecutors have recommended a 24‑month prison term in the case, which stems from a May 2023 traffic stop where officers recovered two handguns.
• Clemency attorneys describe the current pardon process under President Trump as irregular and hard to navigate, leaving the effectiveness of private lobbying efforts uncertain.
