Molly Ann Bloom

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS

The Justice Department list records the commutation on September 3, 2026, one of six commutations in a batch that also carried twenty-three pardons. It gives her sentencing date as February 20, 2020 and her sentence as 148 months' imprisonment plus three years' supervised release.

Bloom is one of eleven of the thirty recipients that former U.S. Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer was able to identify when she wrote on September 8. Oyer recorded that White House pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson's post named just four recipients and that Bloom was one of them, and noted that it is unclear whether this is the same Molly Bloom whose role in an illegal gambling operation became the subject of a film. The Justice Department record for this recipient shows a drug conspiracy in the Northern District of Texas, and nothing in the entry or its sources connects her to that gambling case. The Ledger ran all thirty names in this grant against FEC contribution records for the 2024 and 2026 cycles and found no contribution it could tie to a recipient.
