Trump Issues Amended Commutation for Imaad Zuberi, Revising May 2025 Clemency Grant

Trump issued an amended commutation for venture capitalist Imaad Shah Zuberi on October 1, 2025, revising a clemency grant made May 28, 2025. Zuberi received 144 months in February 2021 for FARA violations, tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and obstruction of justice. The amendment was a rare use of presidential power to formally alter a prior clemency grant, raising legal questions about the scope and effect of revised clemency orders.
