“He served eight years in jail, a long time,” Trump said on Tuesday after commuting Blagojevich’s sentence. “He seems like a very nice person, don’t know him.” The president does, in fact, know him: In 2010, while Blagojevich was awaiting trial, he appeared as a contestant on The Celebrity Apprentice, where he was fired for not knowing enough about Harry Potter.
Bernard Kerik A close friend of Giuliani and the police commissioner of New York City from 2000 to 2001, Bernard Kerik was sentenced to 48 months in prison in 2010 after pleading guilty to charges including tax fraud and lying to officials. After the invasion of Iraq in 2003, President Bush appointed Kerik to serve as the interior minister of the Coalition Provisional Authority governing Iraq, where he was responsible for rebuilding Iraqi police and intelligence services.
