President Trump Pardons Repeat Offender Adriana Camberos Amid Series of Clemency Actions

President Donald Trump has granted a second pardon to Adriana Camberos, a businesswoman from Southern California, who was recently convicted of fraud. This action is part of a series of 13 pardons and eight commutations issued by the president on January 15, 2026.

Camberos was initially convicted in 2017 for her involvement in a scheme to sell counterfeit energy drinks. President Trump commuted her sentence in 2021. However, in 2024, she and her brother, Andres Camberos, were convicted in a separate fraud case involving deceptive practices in the resale of wholesale groceries. Both siblings received pardons in the recent clemency actions.

Other notable individuals granted clemency include former Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez, who pleaded guilty to a campaign finance violation, and banker Julio Herrera Velutini, whose daughter has been a significant donor to Trump's super PAC.

These pardons underscore President Trump's continued use of executive clemency powers, often benefiting political allies and individuals with prior convictions.
