Zabavsky had been sentenced on September 12, 2024, to 48 months in prison for violations of Title 18 of the united states Code. The charges included conspiracy and obstruction related to an indictment from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The pardon granted by President Trump marks a significant legal decision affecting Andrew Zabavsky’s criminal record. The original charges stemmed from an indictment filed in late 2021 that accused him of violating federal laws concerning conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
Key details regarding the case include:
- Zabavsky was convicted under Docket No. 1:21-cr-00598-PLF.
- He received a sentence of four years imprisonment on each count, which will be served concurrently.
- A three-year supervised release period follows his prison term along with a $200 special assessment fee.
This executive action allows Zabavsky to have his civil rights restored and removes any lingering legal penalties associated with his prior convictions. The Pardon Attorney has been designated by Trump to execute this grant of clemency officially.
This pardon signifies President Trump’s continued use of executive clemency powers as part of his administration’s approach to justice reform during his tenure in office.
