Overview

• The White House confirmed on May 29 that Zuberi’s sentence was commuted alongside clemency for Larry Hoover, plus a pardon for former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland.
• His original sentence included nearly $16 million in restitution, $2 million in fines ordered by U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips.
• He pleaded guilty to concealing the source of a $900,000 donation to Trump’s inaugural committee, falsifying Foreign Agents Registration Act records, obstructing a federal probe.
• After serving as a bundler for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Zuberi donated over $1.1 million to Trump-linked, Republican Party committees following the 2016 election.
• The move spares him from serving the remainder of his 12-year prison term.
