President Donald Trump on May 15, 2019 pardoned disgraced media mogul Conrad Black, who served more than three years in prison in the US for fraud and obstruction of justice.WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Wednesday pardoned disgraced British media mogul Conrad Black, who served more than three years in prison in the US for fraud and obstruction of justice.
The statement described Black - who wrote a book entitled"Donald J Trump: A President Like No Other" - as an"entrepreneur and scholar" who"has made tremendous contributions to business, as well as to political and historical thought." But years of legal battles - which went all the way up to the US Supreme Court - failed to fully clear his name, although he did manage to greatly reduce his prison time by clearing himself of many of the charges.
At its peak, Black's newspaper group was one of the largest media empires in the world, with revenues in the billions of dollars and global daily circulation in the millions.As well as The Daily Telegraph in London, the group included the Chicago Sun-Times, Canada's National Post, and the Jerusalem Post.
