Overview

  • On June 26, Giudice tagged President Trump and his son in an Instagram appeal, asking to be pardoned so he can return to the United States to visit his four daughters.
  • Ex-wife Teresa Giudice and their daughters publicly endorsed his request with supportive comments on the post.
  • Deported to Italy in 2019 after serving 41 months for fraud, Giudice now resides in the Bahamas and accepts he is unlikely to regain permanent U.S. residency.
  • He cites President Trump’s recent pardon of Todd and Julie Chrisley as inspiration for seeking clemency.
  • His immigration attorney, Jessica Cadavid, is exploring formal steps, including a possible appeal to the State Department for permission to visit.
