Robert “Bob” Zangrillo, dad caught up in Varsity Blues tuition scandal pardoned by Trump

Robert “Bob” Zangrillo – President Trump granted a full pardon to Robert Zangrillo. This pardon is supported by Len Blavatnik, Geoff Palmer, Tom Barrack, Sean Parker, Walid Abu-Zalaf, Medo Alsaloussi, and Kevin Downing. Mr. Zangrillo was charged in connection with the Varsity Blues investigation. However, his daughter did not have others take standardized tests for her and she is currently earning a 3.9 GPA at the University of Southern California. Mr. Zangrillo is a well-respected business leader and philanthropist.

After hearing about the pardon, Sean Parker reached out to Shore News Network to say he did not endorse this pardon, despite the Trump administration’s public release.

Sean doesn’t know him and did not make any request for a pardon on his behalf,” said an agent from HS Strategies today.
