President Donald Trump pardoned health care executive Paul Walczak, whose mother was involved in the plot to expose Ashley Biden's diary, The New York Times reported. Walczak was convicted of tax evasion just two weeks ago.
Due to his conviction, Walczak was ordered to pay $4.4 million in restitution and serve an 18-month prison sentence. The executive allegedly used the money he withheld from the government to purchase luxuries, such as a yacht.
"Paul and his family are truly grateful to the president, and Paul looks forward to returning his focus to his lifelong passion for improving the country’s health care system," Raymond R. Granger, the attorney who drafted the pardon, said. Some believe Trump is rewarding his loyal allies through pardons.
Although he only donated $450 to Trump in the 2020 election, Walczak's mother, Elizabeth Fago, is a longtime Republican fundraiser who helped Trump in his 2020 presidential campaign. She was part of the Ashley Biden diary controversy, which was unrelated to Walczak and his conviction.
In the runup to the 2020 presidential election, the contents of a diary kept by Ashley Biden, daughter of Joe Biden, were leaked to the press. Fago allegedly had a part in that as she was roped in as a donor and fundraiser for the GOP.
Sources close to the matter said that Robert Kurlander, who possessed the diary, reached out to Fago. She immediately saw it as an opportunity to undermine Joe Biden's campaign by releasing the information contained therein.
At a September 2020 fundraiser at Fago's Jupiter, Florida, Kurlander passed around the diary. Later, Fago made the most of the incriminating journal and tipped off Project Veritas about it.
The whistleblower organization paid Kurlander and another woman, Aimee Harris, $40,000 to purchase the diary. The Department of Justice later became involved because the property was considered stolen, and Kurlander and Harris were both convicted as a result.
Fago and her daughter were not convicted, nor was anyone from Project Veritas. However, the legal battle would eventually prove that the diary was indeed authentic and belonged to Joe Biden's daughter, who made some startling admissions.
Once Joe Biden became president, his Department of Justice pursued criminal action against Kurlander and Harris. This proved that what recovering drug addict Ashley Biden wrote was true, at least in her own mind.
In pages released to the press, a handwritten note asking whether she "was molested" and later that she showered with her father and that it was "probably not appropriate." The X account Libs of TikTok shared it with a caption about Harris's conviction.
"Ashley Biden’s diary is real. A woman is now going to prison for selling it. Here’s a reminder of what she wrote," the April 9, 2024. post stated. "Joe Biden showered with his daughter. She felt it was “probably not appropriate” and also questioned if she was m*lested."

As the president, Trump can pardon anyone he pleases, just as Joe Biden did. However, the bigger story is that a man was elected president in 2020 who, at the very least, was privately implicated in some twisted interactions with his own daughter.
