The United States Justice investigates an alleged plot that aimed to influence the White House to obtain pardons from the president, Donald Trump, in exchange for generous political donations. Court documents released Tuesday indicate that prosecutors have investigated the activities of people who contacted Trump officials with the goal of obtaining a pardon. The documents, which date from last August, are censored and do not identify any of the people involved in the alleged plot, nor do they provide information on the status of the investigation.
