## Resource

A powerhouse lobbying firm with deep ties to the Trump administration is now dominating the pardon and clemency space, securing multimillion-dollar deals and sparking political scrutiny. Founded by former campaign and White House insiders, Mo Strategies has partnered with Blessinger Legal to handle immigration and pardon cases, pulling in $500K in just one deal. Led by Marty Obst, the firm guides clients through the murky world of presidential clemency — a niche booming thanks to the president’s history of granting favors to allies. With contracts like Tencent America’s $500K-per-filing deal and over two dozen lobbying registrations tied to clemency, the industry is growing fast — and drawing sharp Democratic criticism over possible “pay-to-play” schemes. As congressional power shifts, expect this high-stakes lobbying to only intensify. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
