President Donald Trump issues a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to Stephen Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana, according to multiple reports. Buyer is convicted in 2023 on four counts of securities fraud tied to insider trading. Sources describe that after leaving Congress, Buyer makes stock trades based on nonpublic information connected to two deals before the information becomes public. ABC News and PBS NewsHour report that Buyer serves about 22 months in prison before receiving clemency. The New York Times similarly states that the conviction relates to trading involving two deals prior to public disclosure. The Hill and other outlets report that the White House proclamation does not give an explanation for the pardon. Courthouse News adds that the case is tied to trades made during Buyer’s post-congressional consulting work. Coverage also notes Buyer’s long political career, including nearly two decades in Congress and leadership focused on veterans’ issues, though the pardon itself is centered on the 2023 insider-trading conviction and the prison sentence that followed.
