Warm Up Your Checkbook, Donald

At least as a private citizen, Cheeto Jesus's disregard for the law continues to cost him:
A federal judge in Florida on Wednesday directed a golf club owned by U.S. President Donald Trump to pay $5.77 million to former members who claimed it wrongfully refused to refund their deposits after Trump took over in 2012.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra in West Palm Beach said Trump National Golf Club Jupiter must repay $4.849 million plus $925,010 of interest to 65 former members for breach of contract, following a non-jury trial last August.

  2. No impact whatsoever. The pardon power only reaches cases that are "offenses against the United States"-- Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution.
