John Boehner, Tom DeLay and dozens of ex-GOP lawmakers say Steve Buyer was targeted by the 'deep state' — and they want Trump to pardon him

Former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner and ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay are rallying to have Steve Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana, pardoned by President Trump, alleging Buyer was unfairly targeted by a "deep state" conspiracy. This move underscores a broader push within the GOP to challenge what they see as judicial overreach and to highlight perceived injustices against their former colleagues. The implications of such a pardon could influence perceptions of justice and political loyalty, reflecting deeper divisions within American politics.
