Trump Pledges Posthumous Pardon for Pete Rose

President Donald Trump renewed his pledge to pardon the late Pete Rose, saying the baseball legend was mistreated and should have been admitted to the Hall of Fame. At a White House appearance with UFC CEO Dana White, Trump initially seemed unaware Rose had a criminal conviction before a reporter explained it involved federal tax charges. A pardon would address Rose’s 1990 conviction for filing false tax returns, not his lifetime ban from Major League Baseball for betting on baseball; Rose admitted underreporting income from betting, memorabilia sales and paid appearances. Trump argued Rose bet on his own team to win, though MLB rules prohibit players from betting on baseball games, including their own team’s games. Rose, who died in 2024, had 4,256 career hits, and Commissioner Rob Manfred removed him from MLB’s permanently ineligible list in 2025, opening a path to Hall of Fame consideration.
