Indian-Origin Doctor, Tax Fraud Convict Seeks Trump Pardon, Gives $1M to MAGA | Firstpost Live

An Indian-origin doctor who served two years in prison for tax fraud has donated $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc. fund while seeking a presidential pardon. Krishna Tripuraneni, a retired Florida gastroenterologist, was convicted after admitting to underreporting $18 million in income. His June donation makes him one of the biggest Indian-American donors to Trump this year. There is no public evidence that the donation was made in exchange for a pardon. In this Firstpost Live episode, we tell you how the timing raises questions about political money, access and presidential clemency, especially after other Trump pardons involved people with significant political or financial ties. Gursshheen Gahllen tells you more.
