The Boosie pardon mess just went from suspicious to scorching because the White House has officially entered the chat. Now, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl may have to answer some serious questions.
According to The Breakfast Club’s Loren LoRosa, a White House official confirmed that something concerning Boosie was received from his attorney, Meghan Blanco. However, the official stressed that receiving documents does not mean clemency was approved, promised or guaranteed.
In other words, the paperwork touched down. The pardon did not.
Per LoRosa’s exclusive statement, the White House clemency team has never heard from Burkman or Wohl, does not support their work and believes involving the two men could actively damage someone’s chances of receiving clemency.

That response cuts directly through the alleged access Burkman and Wohl were accused of selling. According to NOTUS, the two political operatives allegedly made Boosie’s team believe they had serious connections inside Trump’s orbit and could move his application through the right hands.
The White House is now basically saying those hands were never theirs.
LoRosa also reported that the White House said Trump finds it “detestable” that anyone would attempt to profit from pardons. She explained on The Breakfast Club that she followed up with questions about the larger conversation surrounding people allegedly paying for access to clemency, but the White House did not respond to that follow up.
That silence leaves the biggest question sitting right in the middle of the room. How did a clemency request become a $600,000 business deal filled with alleged promises, political name dropping and claims that a pardon had already been signed?
According to NOTUS, Boosie signed an agreement with JM Burkman & Associates on September 30, 2025, and paid $600,000 upfront. Boosie’s legal team argues that $300,000 should have been refunded after no pardon arrived by the contract deadline. Burkman’s firm disputes that a refund provision was ever finalized, and the matter is currently in arbitration.
The Boosie pardon story became even messier after NOTUS reported that Burkman allegedly told Blanco on New Year’s Eve that Trump had the pardon in hand and was prepared to sign it. Blanco said she was told during a call the next day that the pardon had already been signed and was simply waiting to be announced.
No pardon was announced.
Boosie later publicly name dropped Erika Kirk, Laura Loomer, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Mike Johnson, Nancy Mace and Andy Biggs, demanding that each person confirm or deny having contact with Burkman and Wohl about his clemency process.
Nancy Mace said her office received an email requesting a call and that her staff participated in one phone conversation in October. Mace said her office promised nothing and received no follow up. She also offered to assist Boosie with his legal process.
Erika Kirk’s representative told NOTUS that Kirk did not know Boosie and never endorsed his pardon. Mike Cernovich also denied advocating for him, while Mike Johnson’s office denied any connection to the alleged arrangement.
The legal distinction is important. Paying attorneys or registered lobbyists to advocate for clemency is not automatically the same as purchasing a pardon. However, federal bribery law prohibits corruptly offering something of value to influence an official act. No public official has been accused of accepting Boosie’s money.
For now, the White House has confirmed Boosie’s independent application exists while denying that Burkman and Wohl have influence with its clemency team. Boosie paid $600,000 after allegedly being sold access, urgency and results. Now the people supposedly holding all that political juice are being described by the White House as a liability.
Baby, the pardon is still missing, the refund is still being fought over and the math is refusing to math.
