Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year.

LGBT PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIME- GHANAIAN TOP CARDINAL 'PETER TURKSON '.(PHOTO).


“LGBT people may not be criminalised because they've committed no crime."
 
Those are the views of cardinal Peter Turkson, from Ghana, who has often been tipped as a possible contender to be Africa’s first pope, after Benedict 16.

Last month, Pope Francis suggested he would be open to having the Catholic Church bless same-sex couples.

In an interview with the BBC’s ‘Hardtalk’, Cardinal Turkson added that in regard to homosexuality, “it’s time to begin education, to help people understand what this reality, this phenomenon is”.
 
His views are at odds with those of Catholic bishops in Ghana, who say homosexuality is "despicable".
 
But although embracing a more tolerant attitude than many of his counterparts, he says that changes within the Catholic Church should not be “something to be imposed on cultures which are not yet ready to accept stuff like that".
 
Several African nations have recently adopted legislation condemning homosexuality.
 
In July, Ghanaian MPs backed measures in a proposed bill, which has still not completed its passage through parliament, that would make identifying as LGBT punishable with a three-year prison sentence.
 
People who campaign for LGBT rights in Ghana could also face up to 10 years in jail. Gay sex is already against the law and carries a three-year prison sentence.
