In December 2019, Adriana Camberos, facing a 26-month sentence for selling counterfeit 5-hour Energy, claimed innocence while her family sought clemency through political connections.
Navigating a back channel to President Trump, Ms. Camberos's family aimed to leverage their network and ties to lobby for her clemency when most channels were inefficient.
Adam Katz, a lawyer with connections to Trump, filed a commutation petition shortly after meeting Ms. Camberos’s family, highlighting the intricate path to influence.
Despite Ms. Camberos's family's lack of high-level political ties, efforts were made to enhance her position within Trump's circle, showcasing the interplay of power and clemency.
