Trump's Pardons Deprive Shooting Survivors of Millions in Funding

In a troubling revelation, a comprehensive analysis by The Trace, a non-profit newsroom covering gun violence in America, has uncovered the staggering financial impact of Donald Trump's presidential pardons on survivors of shootings and the organizations that serve them.

Since Trump's return to office last year, the former president has pardoned dozens of white-collar criminals, effectively forgiving their fines, penalties, and restitution - a move that has cost these individuals and organizations billions of dollars in much-needed funding.

This revenue was intended to go to a fund supporting victims of violent crime and the critical services they rely on. However, with this financial lifeline now severed, the organizations tasked with providing aid and assistance to shooting survivors are feeling the painful squeeze.

The Trace analysis paints a stark picture, highlighting how Trump's pardons have directly undermined the ability of these non-profits to fulfill their mission and support those impacted by gun violence.

One such organization, Everytown for Gun Safety, has seen a significant reduction in funding, making it increasingly difficult to provide the full range of resources and programs that shooting survivors so desperately need.
