On Trump's pardon of @DineshDSouza, Judge Berman said: “Not only was there not some, there was no evidence of unfairness. It was not because he was treated unfairly. The pardon was for some other reason."
"If I had to guess, I would say politics because it’s become known that Senator Cruz intervened on Mr. D’Souza’s behalf,” he added.
