The US justice department is looking into claims that lobbyists have tried to use bribes to secure a presidential pardon, unsealed court papers show.


They say that in August investigators began investigating a "secret lobbying scheme" possibly involving attempts to contact White House officials.


The redacted filings do not give any names, but the justice department says no government official is being probed.


In a tweet, President Trump referred to the investigation as "fake news".

I think it is another fake CNN report that Project Veritas discovered.

Anyone who believe anything the "MSM" "reports" is a retard.

Why would this be unusual? I’m certain lobbyist have been engaging in this type of activity for decades. There are a lot of people who try to influence a president on issuing pardons. Some are likely paid to exert this influence.

Yeah that's why CBS News' White House reporter Paula Reid was holing up a Justice Department 20 page report that was very heavily redacted.

Lobbyists are scum of the earth!
It's where ex-politicians go to Phuck up the country for bigger money with no accountability to the people.
All sides of the aisle. Dems like Mary Landrieu and pubs like booby Jindal.

K-street is a long-time fixture in American politics.

It's like current Congress, corruption training via the almighty dollar . Then , you get to be a "corruptor" if you were corrupt enough.
