US President Donald Trump has pardoned Joe Lewis, the British billionaire and majority owner of Tottenham Hotspur soccer club, following Lewis' guilty plea to insider trading charges in New York last year. Lewis was accused of passing confidential information about companies in which he invested to friends, associates, and employees, resulting in a $5 million fine and three years of probation. The pardon places Lewis among several wealthy individuals convicted of financial crimes who have received clemency from Trump during his second term. Lewis expressed relief at the resolution, stating he looks forward to retirement and watching his family continue their business legacy.
