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. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

DOCTOR FACING SENTENCING FOR GIVING KETAMINE TO MATTHEW PERRY. (PHOTO).



Doctor facing sentencing for giving ketamine to Matthew Perry 

A doctor who admitted to supplying ketamine to the late Friends star Matthew Perry is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia is one of five individuals convicted in connection with Perry’s 2023 death from a ketamine overdose. The 54-year-old actor was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home and could not be revived. An autopsy confirmed that Perry died from an overdose of the drug, which he initially used to manage depression and anxiety, but had escalated to injecting six to eight times per day in the weeks before his death.

Plasencia pleaded guilty in June to four counts of distributing ketamine and is the first of the five people involved to face sentencing. He could receive up to 10 years in federal prison for each count at an 11 a.m. PST hearing in federal court. The doctor, who ran an urgent care clinic in Malibu, admitted to working with another physician to provide Perry’s assistant with the drug. Plasencia acknowledged selling vials, partial lozenges, and syringes, and personally visited Perry to administer injections, while also leaving supplies for his assistant despite knowing he was untrained.

Federal prosecutors said Plasencia sought to profit from supplying Perry, even making remarks about the actor’s willingness to pay. In letters submitted to the court, Perry’s parents called Plasencia “among the most culpable” in their son’s death, describing their grief as overwhelming and condemning those who exploited their son’s vulnerability.
