Boosie takes $600K pardon fight to 60 Minutes after failed Trump clemency push
- On Sept. 13, Lil Boosie appeared on Minutes to discuss a failed presidential pardon, telling Leslie Stahl he paid $600,000 to lobbyists to facilitate clemency from President Donald Trump.
- Boosie sued lobbyists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, alleging he paid $600,000 via their firm after an introduction from a Trump insider.
- Critics debated whether Boosie is snitching by discussing the situation on a national program, as he faced backlash for participating in an interview on CBS.
- CBS has faced criticism from its own employees since the arrival of Barri Weiss, with critics arguing that utilizing Boosie to discuss the pardon issue reeks of cynicism.
- Ongoing lawsuits against the lobbyists should have alerted the rapper, who has been spending time with LSU, to the situation immediately upon hearing the name Trump.
