Trump-pardoned Abramoff figure Kidan's money surfaces in GOP campaigns

Adam Kidan, who went to federal prison alongside Jack Abramoff and was ordered to repay $21.7 million, was pardoned by Donald Trump in July. His money has since surfaced in eight Republican Senate campaigns. In March 2025 he gave $25,000 to a fundraising committee shared by Republican senators, with Susan Collins, Roger Marshall and Jon Husted each receiving $1,600.

Why now: The post-pardon donations raise fresh questions about corruption ties and Republican campaign finance ahead of elections.
