People who get presidential pardons would have to share financial details, and bribery laws for clemency would get tougher.
People who receive a presidential pardon or other executive clemency would be required to publicly report any significant gifts or payments they made to the President, their family, or people who helped them get clemency. The bill would also make federal bribery laws clearer about covering clemency decisions and extend the time limit for investigating such bribery cases.
Today, there are no specific federal rules requiring clemency recipients to disclose financial benefits given to the President, their family, or people who helped them seek clemency, and bribery laws are less explicit about covering clemency. After this bill, clemency recipients would need to report any gifts or payments of $10,000 or more to these individuals or groups, and bribery investigations for clemency could last up to 10 years.
