Nxivm Leader Keith Raniere Seeks Pardon From President Donald Trump

Convicted felon and NXIVM leader Keith Raniere, now serving 120 years for charges of sex trafficking, forced labor and racketeering, is seeking a pardon from President Trump.

Raniere has authorized Make Justice Blind, a group of his supporters, to request a pardon on his behalf. Below is their letter to President Trump, which includes Keith Raniere’s direct statements made from prison.

In the letter, Raniere’s situation is compared to Trump’s: “Like you, Raniere has been a victim of the fake news media.”

According to the letter, the basis of the pardon request is Raniere’s claim that he is innocent, and it provides a list of issues in the case which he thinks demonstrates he got a fundamentally unfair trial.

There are nine days left in which the president can grant his pardon.

The SUN and Frank Report broke this story. The SUN’s headline is ‘FREE ME’ Nxivm sex cult boss Keith Raniere begs for PARDON from Donald Trump claiming they are both ‘victims’ of ‘fake news’

The SUN’s Emma Parry wrote in her lede:

“THE leader of the Nxivm sex and branding cult has begged for a pardon from outgoing President Donald Trump – claiming they are both “victims” of “fake news,” The Sun can exclusively reveal.

“Disgraced guru Keith Raniere, currently serving 120 years for charges of sex trafficking, forced labor, and racketeering, has penned a bizarre last-ditch letter to Trump, who has nine days left to grant pardons.

“Raniere, 60, whose followers included millionaires and Hollywood actresses such as Allison Mack, is facing life in prison after he was convicted last June on seven felonies.

“He is accused of running a sinister master-slave group called DOS where women were starved, branded on their groins, forced into sexual acts, and made to hand over damaging collateral, such as naked pictures.

“Raniere – who followers called “Vanguard” – was also found guilty of acts of extortion, identity theft and the production and possession of child pornography.

“’Although my personal situation is wrongful and inhumane, it has equally grave consequences for anyone who is affected by our US justice system,’ Raniere said.

Bill de Blasio Will Explore Canceling New York City Contracts with Trump Organization

New York City will review whether it can legally end its contracts with the Trump Organization, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said Tuesday.

“Our legal team is assessing the options,” de Blasio said during a press briefing Tuesday morning, noting that all of the contracts with the Trump Organization are under review.

The city’s decision is one of the latest attempts by businesses and government localities to cancel and deplatform President Donald Trump after a group of his supporters stormed Capitol Hill last week.

The mayor accused Trump of inciting a “rebellion” at the United States Capitol, which prompted the review.

“We are looking at that very, very, carefully and very quickly,” he said.

Currently, the city has contracts with the Trump Organization to run a carousel, two ice rinks, and a golf course in the city’s parks.

Bloomberg News reports the contracts are worth more than $17 million.
