in effect
Proclamation 11033, signed June 4, 2026, is a presidential pardon issued by President Donald J. Trump under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. It grants a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to Stephen E. Buyer, a former U.S. Army Judge Advocate General officer and former Republican U.S. Representative from Indiana. The document was published in the Federal Register on June 10, 2026, and directs the Attorney General to issue a certificate of pardon immediately.
A full, complete, and unconditional pardon erases the federal criminal conviction and any remaining legal consequences Stephen E. Buyer faced from his federal case. He is no longer subject to any federal sentence, supervised release, fines, or other penalties connected to that conviction. The pardon does not expunge court records but does restore civil rights that may have been lost upon conviction, such as the right to vote in federal elections and the right to hold federal office. No deadlines, rulemaking, or regulatory mechanisms are involved — the pardon takes effect immediately upon issuance of the certificate by the Attorney General.
Stephen E. Buyer is the sole individual directly affected; his federal conviction is pardoned and its legal consequences are extinguished. More than fifty current and former members of Congress and other public officials are listed in the document as having endorsed the pardon, though they receive no legal benefit from it — their names appear solely as supporters who recommended the action to the President.
