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.

Floyd was among 77 individuals pardoned in connection with efforts to challenge the 2020 election, including high-profile figures like Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows. While most pardons addressed state-level cases outside presidential authority, Floyd faces a separate federal charge for allegedly assaulting an FBI agent in 2023.

Floyd’s attorney, Carlos J.R. Salvado, said the pardon could plausibly apply to the federal assault case. Floyd is accused of attacking two FBI agents sent to serve a subpoena as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into 2020 election subversion. Reports indicate Floyd body-slammed one agent and shouted obscenities during the incident. Court records show Floyd has not entered a plea on the assault charge, and his legal team had been preparing for trial. The language in Trump’s pardon broadly covers “any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.” Floyd celebrated the pardon on social media, calling it the “best birthday present ever.”
