Every correction,
on the record.

Said each week’s grants come with the documented lobbyist, donor or political link and the recipient’s response; some entries state that none is documented, and some carry no response. It also said every ledger entry is in the news RSS, the case RSS and the feed bundle. Those feeds carry news briefs and case files, not ledger entries; the full ledgers download from the data page. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Said the Justice Department asked an appeals court to throw out the convictions of twelve of the fourteen people whose sentences the January 6 proclamation commuted, all but Jeremy Bertino and Thomas Caldwell, "who had been pardoned outright in March 2025". Only Caldwell was; the cited record does not say why Bertino was left out. Corrected September 30, 2026.

The privacy summary did not say that the site stores copies of pages on the reader’s device for offline reading and the home-screen app; it now does. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Described the Pardon Ledger as giving "the documented lobbyist, donation, or business link" for each grant, and promised its response. Many entries document a political relationship instead, or state that none is documented, and some record no response. It also described the feed bundle as holding all public feeds; it holds the news and case RSS feeds. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Did not mention the pages the site stores on a reader’s device for offline reading, or the ?app=1 marker the home-screen icon adds so openings from the home screen can be counted. It said its own measurement leaves search text out of page addresses, without saying that what a reader types into a filter is added to the page address, where Google Analytics can record it for readers who allow measurement. The page now covers all three. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Its introduction and its search and dataset descriptions said each grant came with a lobbyist, donor or political link and the recipient’s response; some entries state that none is documented, and some carry no response. Its summary counted 11 entries with a documented payment, donation, lobbyist or broker, by matching words in the link text: five of those say none is documented, Trevor Milton’s own donations were missed, and two counted rows are not grants. The correct figure is five entries. It said the ledger was updated September 18, though six of its correction notes went up September 23. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Said search "holds the whole record on your device", listed the Money Ledger among the pages still available, and said a missing page "has not been opened on this device before". Search covers news briefs, case files and people; the Money Ledger is stored only once opened; and a page opened once can still have no stored copy. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Its summary gave $1.4 billion in reported crypto income "per Fortune and Reuters". No Reuters source for that figure is cited; it is from the president’s financial disclosure as reported by Fortune and NBC News. The entry itself was corrected on September 18; the summary was missed. It also said the ledger was updated September 18, though four of its correction notes went up September 23, and described eight foreign deals as coming in the first year of the term; AP counted them over just over a year. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Corrected in several places. It said the search page holds the whole record; it holds news briefs, case files and profiles, and the ledgers are filtered on their own pages. It said Chrome and Firefox on an iPhone cannot add a site to the home screen; since iOS 16.4 other browsers can offer it, and Chrome does. It placed Safari’s Share button at the bottom of the screen; on recent iPhones it is often in the menu beside the address bar. It said pages never opened would not be there offline; some are stored when the Ledger first loads. It said installing changes nothing about what the site collects and that the privacy page covered it; the home-screen icon opens /pardons/?app=1, so openings from the home screen can be counted, which neither page said. Its description in search results promised the full pardon record, searchable and readable offline; the app opens the whole site, and the pages stored for offline reading when the Ledger first loads are the Pardon Ledger, the clemency lookup and the search page. It said the RSS feed, the weekly digest and the raw data carry the same record, and that the corrections log shows everything that has changed; only the raw data carries the full ledgers, and the log lists corrections. The app’s search shortcut was labeled "Search the record"; it searches news, cases and people. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Corrected in several places. It said the Pardon Ledger’s 29 entries covered "49 named recipients", a figure no count supports: 27 entries are on clemency grants and two are a review summary and a pardon-broker case; 48 recipients have a row or a recipient page of their own (47 people and one company), and three group entries cover others who are not broken out: 19 more of the September 2026 batch of 30, the rest of the roughly 1,500 January 6 recipients, and all 77 people on the 2020 election allies entry. It said five entries cover grants to several people and that their named_people lists name each recipient; eight entries cover such grants, five carry named_people, its 25 names include one company, and the lists are partial for the January 6 and September 2026 grants. The column dictionary said sources come with title, publisher, URL and date, which is true of the JSON only (the CSV gives URLs), and left out the JSON fields people and fec. It said the corrections log lists "every change"; it lists every correction. It gave September 18 as the data’s last update, though the files also changed on September 20 and 23. The downloads listed Emory Jones only under his batch’s row, dated September 3; the Justice Department lists him on September 8, as that row’s text said, and each named recipient now carries a date of its own. The downloads’ license field named no license; it now names CC BY 4.0. The dataset description said every entry has a documented lobbyist, donation or business link; many document a political relationship or state that none is documented. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Corrected in several places. The headline and introduction said campaign contributions were the only pardon money trail the public could search, and that the payments the record documents sit where no filing system publishes them per person. The FEC publishes a relative’s gift under the relative’s name and lobbying fees are disclosed by client; what holds is that, apart from Trevor Milton’s own donations, none of it appears under the recipients’ own names in FEC filings. It said 62 of 71 names returned "nothing at all"; they returned no contribution of $5,000 or more ($2,500 for the September 3 batch) in the 2024 and 2026 cycles, and earlier giving was not searched. It said the search covered the clemency record; it covered 73 names, and 94 of the 156 people on the Justice Department’s list, and nearly everyone covered by the mass proclamations, were not searched. It called it a search of individual contributions; it searched all itemized receipts by contributor name. It said three names were added on September 18; two were new. It said the first 42 names included two relatives of recipients; there is one. It said the five name-alike donors live in states unconnected to the recipients; not all do, and each is set aside on other grounds. It listed four Trump-committee contributions from the Kelsey and Peterson searches, which are two payments, and gave details of the Peterson contribution, though that donor appears to be someone else; those are removed. It said none of the nine hits survives reading; Henry Cuellar’s rows include his own contributions to his campaign, none is a confirmed contribution by a recipient to a Trump committee, and the Kelsey donor’s listed city is where the former senator was reported to be living. It said the FEC does not record 501(c)(4) spending or in-kind support; it records in-kind contributions and 501(c)(4) groups’ election spending, though mostly not who funds those groups. It described the Binance contract as four weeks of work on "executive relief"; Bloomberg reported $450,000 for one month of lobbying that included it. And it counted Changpeng Zhao and Ben Delo, foreign nationals barred from U.S. contributions, among the telling absences. Corrected September 30, 2026.

The date box and the page’s social card gave September 3, 2026, the date of the other 29 grants in his batch; the Justice Department lists Jones’s pardon on September 8, 2026, as the page’s own text said. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Was titled "Corrections and updates", though it lists corrections only. It said corrections also appear on the entry they belong to, which was true only of ledger entries; every web page with a logged correction now shows it. It dated ten correction notes September 18, and its feeds gave them as published that day, though they were first published September 23; the log, the feeds and the entries now give both dates. The September 29 item repeated the lookup’s "169 people" as if it were right. And it said the ledgers were last updated September 18, though ten notes went up September 23. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Corrected in several places. It said the Justice Department’s tables name 169 people; they have 169 entries recording 165 grants, to 156 people and nine companies. It said nothing is sent anywhere; what you type stays on your device, but like other pages the lookup loads Google advertising code and Google Fonts, and Google Analytics if you allow it. It did not say it searches only the second term’s tables (2025 to the present); it now does, and links the first-term lists. A name-matching fault left ten table entries, for nine recipients who have entries here, without a link to them; they now link, and no result linked to the wrong person. It called pardons.hackingbutlegal.com "simply more complete"; it covers both terms, but when checked on September 30 it was current only through August 24, 2026, and it does not name most January 6 recipients. It offered "Castañeda" as an example search, though no Castañeda is in the tables. It said each linked entry gives "the documented lobbyist, donation or business link" and "the person’s response"; many document no such link and carry no response, and say so. It said the data is free under CC BY 4.0; the names are U.S. government works, and only the Ledger’s own entries are under CC BY 4.0. It said the lookup works offline; a reader whose first page was the lookup had no stored copy, and it is now stored when any Ledger page first loads. And 25 results showed no grant type, while mixed-batch totals read as one person’s grant. Corrected September 30, 2026.

Said roughly 2,050 grants had been made "in this term". That figure, from pardons.hackingbutlegal.com, is both terms together, and by that tracker’s count 237 of it is the first term; this term’s grants run to roughly 1,800. Corrected September 30, 2026.

An earlier version also said Binance retained McDowell under a contract reported at nearly half a million dollars for four weeks of work on “executive relief.” Bloomberg reported that Binance paid Checkmate $450,000 for one month’s work lobbying the White House and the Treasury Department on financial policy issues and “executive relief.” Corrected September 30, 2026.

Said the Justice Department’s tables name "169 people across 16 dated batches". There are 33 dated batches: batches sharing a label such as "1 Pardon" had been counted as one; the names, dates and search results were unaffected. "169 people" was also wrong, since 169 counts table entries, not people; that was corrected on September 30. Corrected September 29, 2026.

An earlier version said roughly $600 million in income went to Trump, and reported $197 million to DT Marks SC from a 38.5 percent stake. Fortune reported almost $600 million to Trump’s entities through World Liberty in 2025, and nearly $197 million to Trump through DT Marks SC, which owns 38.5 percent of Stablecoin Holdco. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version listed the Vietnamese government as a counterparty and said the amount was not disclosed. Reuters reports that the developer is Kinhbac City and its partners and that the Trump Organization was paid a $5 million brand-licensing fee; AP reported that Vietnam’s deputy prime minister signed off on the deal. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said, in the Ledger’s own voice, that a bitcoin price rise driven partly by the administration’s pro-crypto policy flows to Trump’s net worth. The cited sources do not establish that causal chain. CNBC described the bitcoin buildup as the latest marker of the Trump family’s embrace of cryptocurrency, a pivot it said continues to grow his net worth while in office. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version listed about $408,000 to the Republican National Committee as a separate gift, and the FEC table added joint-fundraising memo rows to the total on file, giving $2,397,600. The RNC reports the $408,000 as its joint-fundraising share of the $920,000 given to the Trump 47 Committee. Memo rows are now labeled and excluded, and the total on file is $1,947,900. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version put Todd Chrisley’s restitution at $17.8 million. The Justice Department list gives $17.3 million. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Fortune cited Reuters for these figures. Fortune cited the president’s financial disclosure. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version credited Reuters with reporting offers as high as $5 million. That figure comes from NBC News, and the entry now says so. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the cited reports included no statement from Buyer. He told the Associated Press the pardon “corrects a politically motivated prosecution,” and the entry now includes it. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the company sells to Gulf states. AP reported that it is seeking contracts with the Pentagon and with Gulf states. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Emory Jones did not appear on the Justice Department list and described his case as a 2000 conspiracy. The list shows his pardon dated September 8, 2026, and gives October 15, 2000 as his sentencing date. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Jenkins was pardoned days before he was due to report to prison. Trump announced the pardon the day before his report date, and the Justice Department list dates the grant May 27, 2025. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version quoted the Trump Organization as saying it does not “conduct business with any government entity” and did not address the project. Asked by the Associated Press about Trump Plaza and its other foreign projects, the company said it had done no deals with governments so far, and noted that the Saudi company involved is private. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Ulbricht was serving life plus 40 years. He was serving two life sentences plus 40 years. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version described the conviction as wire fraud and extortion. It was wire fraud and attempted extortion. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version misquoted Trump as saying Qatar handed over the plane “so they could help us out.” The entry now quotes what he said. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version dated the project to June 2025, listed the counterparty as a company owned by the Qatari government and said the amount was not disclosed. The project was announced April 30, 2025; CNBC reports the licensing deal is with Dar Global, a private developer, within a development led by the state-controlled Qatari Diar, and Trump’s 2025 disclosure lists $5.25 million in licensing income. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the White House did not dispute the sequence in those reports, and described Walczak as convicted of failing to pay more than $10.9 million in taxes. A White House official told The New York Times that Walczak had been targeted over his family’s politics and, The Daily Beast reported, that the pardon followed his mother’s plea as a mother rather than her donation. Walczak pleaded guilty in November 2024 to not paying employment taxes and not filing his individual returns; $10,912,334.80 is the total tax loss the Justice Department attributed to his conduct. Two source dates were corrected from May 15 to May 27, 2025. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Hoover remains in Illinois custody. He was transferred from federal to Illinois custody. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said both pardons came before trial and gave only a month for the grants. Both had pleaded guilty in August 2025 to lesser misdemeanor campaign-finance charges, and the Justice Department list dates the pardons January 15, 2026. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version attributed the questioning of the pardon to the Congressional Research Service as well as senators of both parties. The cited criticism is from senators: Republican Bill Cassidy, quoted by CNN, and Democrat Dick Durbin, in a Senate floor speech. A source date was corrected from December 15 to December 8, 2025. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version listed this among grants that removed restitution or fines, and said a paid broker was later charged with extortion over the pardon. The Justice Department list gives a 36-month sentence, a $100,000 fine and $5,000,000 in restitution, and ProPublica reported that Schwartz had paid the $5 million. The extortion charge is against Nass; the compiled record describes Schwartz and his son as its alleged targets. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Dougherty was convicted of bribery and embezzlement in 2023. He was convicted of bribery at a 2021 trial and of embezzlement at a second trial in 2023. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Galanis was sentenced to 189 months in 2017. That sentence was imposed in September 2020. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Enrique Tarrio’s sentence was commuted. He received a full pardon; Stewart Rhodes’s sentence was commuted. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version dated the pardon May 28, 2025. The Justice Department list dates it May 27, 2025. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said a civil suit over Boosie Badazz’s fee was pending and that pardon office director Ed Martin told 60 Minutes the official route is free. The refund claim is in arbitration. Martin had left the pardon office nine days before the broadcast and did not say that on the program; the entry now gives what he told 60 Minutes. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version dated the pardon December 3, 2025 and said the indictment came in March 2024. The Justice Department list dates the pardon December 2, 2025, and the indictment was unsealed in May 2024. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version misquoted Trump’s announcement as praising Santos for “always voting Republican.” The announcement said Santos had the “Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!” Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version gave foreign licensing income as $59.5 million in 2025, up 71 percent from 2024, without noting that published figures differ. That is CNBC’s analysis of the disclosure; Forbes put the total at $61 million, up an estimated 30 percent. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version called all five convictions decades old. The Justice Department list gives sentencing dates from 1993 to 2009, and The Hill dates Billy Cannon’s counterfeiting case to 1983. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version credited the $279 billion contracts figure to a Washington Post calculation and overstated a later Fortune report. Both figures come from Public Citizen analyses, which the entry now describes. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version dated the pardon October 23, 2025, the day it was announced. The Justice Department list dates it October 21, 2025. The earlier version also put “any connection” in quotation marks as the words of Zhao’s lawyer; that was the AP’s summary, and the entry now quotes her statement. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version listed securities fraud among Watson’s convictions. The conviction was for securities-fraud conspiracy. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the grants came the same day as the Milton pardon and during the launch period of Trump-family crypto ventures. The same-day timing is from the Justice Department list; the earlier wording implied a connection the cited sources do not establish. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said The Wall Street Journal reported the stake in February 2026. It reported it on January 31, 2026. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the president’s announcement of a national bitcoin reserve sent the price of bitcoin to a record. It did not, and that claim has been removed. The listing came months after the president signed the order creating the reserve. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the Trumps’ share of the fee was not disclosed. Business Insider reported that Donald Trump’s financial disclosure report covering 2025 listed $10.71 million in income to Melania Trump from the film; Rolling Stone, citing The Wall Street Journal, reported that she kept roughly 70 percent of the fee, about $28 million. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said the $2 billion investment was announced in May 2025. MGX and Binance announced it in March 2025; World Liberty’s co-founder said in May that it would be settled in USD1. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version dated the Paramount settlement July 2, 2025, the date of the cited news reports. Paramount announced it late on July 1, 2025. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version dated the proclamation November 10, 2025. Its date is November 7, 2025. Corrected September 18, 2026.

An earlier version said Fortune’s figure came from Reuters. Fortune cited Trump’s financial disclosure. Corrected September 18, 2026.
