Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. seeks presidential pardon for misusing campaign funds.

Former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. is seeking a presidential pardon from Joe Biden, following his 17-month prison sentence for misusing campaign funds. Supported by local politicians and nine mayors from his district, Jackson argues that a pardon would allow him to contribute positively to society. This effort coincides with recognition of his father, civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, at the Democratic National Convention.
