"Donald Trump has pardoned dozens of white-collar criminals since returning to office, forgiving their fines and penalties, which amounts to billions of dollars. This has led to a significant reduction in funding for the Crime Victims Fund, which is essential for supporting victims of violent crime."
"The Crime Victims Fund, established in 1984, is sustained by criminal fines and penalties from federal convictions. The money is distributed to state and local programs that assist victims, including domestic violence shelters and child abuse treatment programs."
"Trump's pardons have resulted in at least $113 million in forgiven fines that would have contributed to the Crime Victims Fund. This figure does not account for restitution, which is paid directly to crime victims."
Since returning to office, Donald Trump has pardoned numerous white-collar criminals, forgiving billions in fines and penalties.

Trump's pardons have resulted in at least $113 million in lost funding for the fund, severely impacting its ability to assist crime victims and their families.
