President Donald Trump has pardoned Tim Leiweke, the cofounder and former chief executive of Oak View Group (OVG), a leading developer of sports and entertainment venues. Leiweke had been indicted on federal charges alleging that he conspired to manipulate the bidding process for a multimillion-dollar arena project in Texas.

The Justice Department revealed the clemency in a document published Wednesday, noting it was signed by the president on Dec. 2. Leiweke, who resigned from his CEO role after the charges, has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings.
