After Trump pardon, Dinesh D`Souza slams attorney |
A day after being granted a full pardon by US President Donald Trump, Indian American political commentator and filmmaker Dinesh D`Souza targeted former attorney Preet Bharara — who had indicted him in 2014 for violating federal campaign law — for wanting to “destroy a fellow Indian American to advance his career”. He added that “Karma is a b*tch” as Bharara was later fired while he has been let off. D`Souza further alleged that Bharara had threatened to add an additional prison term of five years if he did not accept the plea bargain he was given during his conviction — he was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house and given five years probation along with a $30,000 fine after pleading guilty to committing fraud. President Donald Trump said that he will ask the Justice Department to look into whether or not the Obama administration infiltrated or surveilled his 2016 campaign. Bharara, meanwhile, defending the conviction saying D`Souza had “voluntarily pled guilty.” Taking to Twitter, he said, “The President has the right to pardon but the facts are these: D`Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness. The career prosecutors and agents did their job.
