Overview
- Officials confirmed the pardon covers Strawberry’s federal tax case only and does not alter his past Florida state drug convictions.
- Strawberry, 63, thanked the president in a social media post and said Trump personally called him on Nov. 6 to deliver the news.
- In 1995, Strawberry pleaded guilty to one felony count for failing to report roughly $350,000 in autograph and appearance income and agreed to pay more than $430,000, receiving probation and home confinement.
- The White House cited his Christian faith, long-term sobriety, ministry work, and founding of a recovery center as reasons for the decision.
- The action came as the administration confirmed several other clemency moves this week, including pardons for former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and ex-aide Cade Cothren.
