President Donald Trump has issued a pardon for former Army Lt. Mark Bashaw, who faced a court-martial and a criminal conviction after refusing to comply with Biden-era Covid mandates. Bashaw’s refusal to take the Covid-19 vaccine, wear a mask indoors, or submit to routine testing led to his prosecution under the military’s strict vaccine requirements implemented by then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in 2021. Bashaw, the first service member to stand trial over the rules, was convicted in 2022 but avoided jail time.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is considering pardons for the men convicted in the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, raising new questions about the case’s handling and fairness. Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, described the trial as a possible “railroad job” and suggested the men may have been treated unfairly.
