Far right activist
Laura Loomer says she had nothing to do with the
Boosie pardon push, telling the rapper directly on X that she does not know who he is, has never heard of his case, and that clemency is not something anyone can purchase. Her reply landed hours after Boosie posted a list of seven names tied to Trump’s orbit and asked every one of them to state publicly whether they ever had contact with the two operatives who took
$600,000 from him.

The list read like a roll call. Laura Loomer,
Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Erika Kirk, Mike Johnson, Nancy Mace and
Andy Biggs. Boosie’s ask was simple and it was blunt. Make a truthful statement about whether you had contact or no contact with Burkman and Wohl about my pardon process, because $600,000 was taken from me with your names in the emails.
Loomer answered first. She said she does not get involved in that type of work and had no idea what he was talking about. She added that she has never heard of his case and does not know who he is. Then she said the part that matters most for the arbitration Boosie already has in motion. She said it seems like Burkman is using people’s names without permission to get business, and that you cannot pay for a pardon.

Read that again slowly, because it is the whole case in two sentences. The person whose name was allegedly used to close the deal is now saying the name was used without her knowledge. If Loomer never heard of Boosie, then the relationship that was sold to him did not exist. That is not a rapper’s accusation anymore. That is the source saying it out loud.
Nancy Mace responded too, and she took a different route entirely. She asked Boosie to send her a DM so she could connect him with her office staff. That is notable for a specific reason. When
NOTUS reached out to Mace’s office before publishing its investigation on
Monday, July 13, her office declined to comment. Now she is publicly offering a line of communication. Whether that turns into anything real is the next thing worth watching.

The Boosie story broke wide open with that NOTUS investigation, which laid out how the rapper, whose legal name is
Torence Hatch, ended up handing over six figures. He was facing a federal sentencing hearing for possessing a firearm as a felon, a charge that came out of a
2023 arrest in
San Diego. He had already tried the direct route. He had appealed publicly. He had gone to
Alice Marie Johnson, the administration’s pardon czar, and gotten silence back. Then
Jacob Wohl and
Jack Burkman of
JM Burkman & Associates came calling with a pitch. Boosie described it plainly to NOTUS. They were aggressive, and they talked like they had Trump on speed dial.
He signed the contract on
September 30, 2025. The full $600,000 was due up front. Half of it was nonrefundable and the other half was supposed to come back if no clemency arrived by the deadline. That refund clause is now the entire fight, and it is why Boosie’s arbitration lawyer
Jill Craft filed to recover
$300,000 in
March. Wohl and Burkman have refused, saying no such provision was ever agreed to and that the firm is effectively bankrupt.
What makes Loomer’s denial land so hard is what was allegedly being said behind the scenes while the money was moving. According to texts and emails NOTUS reviewed, Wohl and Burkman repeatedly invoked Loomer’s name in messages to Boosie’s criminal defense lawyer
Meghan Blanco. Wohl also claimed that Cernovich, Posobiec, Erika Kirk,
House Speaker Mike Johnson, Nancy Mace and Andy Biggs had all endorsed clemency for the rapper. His words to Blanco were that everyone whose opinion Trump cares about had signed off.
They had not. A representative for
Erika Kirk told NOTUS she does not know who the rapper is and that any suggestion of an endorsement is untrue. Cernovich said he has never advocated for the Boosie pardon. Mike Johnson’s office categorically denied any connection. Mace’s office declined to comment at the time and Biggs’ office declined to respond. Posobiec did not answer. And Loomer, who did not respond to NOTUS before publication, has now answered on her own timeline and in her own words, and her answer is a denial.
A White House official told NOTUS that the clemency team has never heard from Wohl or Burkman, and that their involvement would actually hurt a person’s chances rather than help them.
There is a detail in this that
Baller Alert is not going to skip past. Wohl and Burkman are the same two men who were hit with an Ohio robocall case in 2022 over a scheme that pushed false information into predominantly Black neighborhoods to scare voters away from voting by mail. They paid $1.25 million over it. A Black artist from Baton Rouge, trying to stay out of a federal prison, ended up writing them a $600,000 check.
Boosie did not get the clemency. He got lucky elsewhere. At sentencing in January a federal judge gave him time served and three years of supervised release, and he walked out saying he was blessed not to be in prison. He still has a separate application in with the White House. What he does not have is his money.
Five names on his list have not said anything yet. Cernovich, Posobiec, Erika Kirk, Mike Johnson and Andy Biggs. Boosie asked them a yes or no question in public, and the two women who answered both said the same thing in different tones. Nobody sold them on anything, because nobody called.
