Trump pardons Florida fraudster after commuting her sentence during his first term

President's pardon of Adriana Camberos comes amid a flurry of other pardons Trump issued on Thursday

Donald Trump has pardoned a woman who ended up imprisoned for fraud a second time after he afforded her clemency during his first presidency.

Adriana Camberos initially had a sentence commuted by Trump just before his first stint in the White House ended in 2021. That came after she was convicted as part of an effort to divert 5-Hour Energy drink bottles acquired for resale in Mexico and instead keep them in the US. Prosecutors said she and several co-conspirators attached counterfeit labels and filled the bottles with a phony liquid before selling them.
