It's probably as much about PR as it is about money - Puffy is a heavy lift on the PR side...
Giuliani was hawking pardons in the final days of Trump's first term. I'd expect that Trump will be much more interested in money than PR in the final days of his second term too. But he might not live that long, which must be excruciating if you're a wealthy crook.
Yeah, but he has a lot more money now - grifted literally billions - so I guess more is more, so idk.
Apparently his net worth peaked at a billion dollars. And he only got 4 years. By the time a pardon would be arranged, he'd almost be out again.
