Pardon Transparency and Accountability Act of 2025

This bill requires the President to publish written reasons for any pardon or clemency in the Federal Register and on the official White House website. It mandates the Pardon Attorney to prepare a "Justice Impact Statement" before a pardon is granted, including victim input (from crimes committed by the recipient) and law enforcement views on ongoing cases. The bill also adds new disclosure requirements for lobbyists who contact officials about potential pardons, requiring them to register and report such activities within two days. These changes aim to increase transparency around presidential clemency decisions and the influence surrounding them.
