D’Souza, 53, admitted in 2014 he illegally reimbursed two “straw donors” who donated $US10,000 each to the unsuccessful 2012 US Senate campaign in New York of Wendy Long, a Republican he had known since attending Dartmouth College in the 1980s.


He was sentenced to five years of probation after telling the judge he was ashamed of his actions and contrite. “I cannot believe how stupid I was, how careless, and how irresponsible,” D’Souza wrote in a statement to the judge.

Some conservatives complained of selective prosecution against D’Souza. The prosecutor, Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara, was an Obama appointee later fired by Trump.


On Thursday, D’Souza thanked Trump in Twitter posts that also slammed Bharara. “KARMA IS A BITCH DEPT: @PreetBharara wanted to destroy a fellow Indian American to advance his career. Then he got fired I got pardoned,” D’Souza wrote.
