    Trump Pardons 'Chrisley Knows Best' Stars, Offers Canada a 'Deal,' and Takes on Harvard
    2025/05/28
    President Trump steps in to pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley, reality TV stars convicted of tax evasion and fraud. The White House calls it a second chance for "unfairly targeted" Americans, but critics aren't so sure. Meanwhile, Trump stirs the pot with Canada, offering them free missile defense protection if they become the U.S.'s 51st state—though Canada’s prime minister is having none of it. Lastly, Trump’s ongoing battle with Harvard has sparked conspiracy theories, as he freezes their funding and demands conditions, all while his son-in-law Jared Kushner benefited from the school's admission process.
