Trump’s Final Hours in Office Were Consumed With Fury at Snoop Dogg

Trump’s rage at Snoop Dogg created “chaos” in his administration’s last moments — and nearly killed clemency for Harry-O.

In late 2020 and early 2021, Snoop Dogg secretly worked to influence the White House on executive clemency for federal prisoners — including for the rapper’s close friend and Death Row Records figure, Michael “Harry-O” Harris. “I was aware that the [ Daily Beast] article caused a problem for Mr. Harris’ clemency petition, and I was asked by someone close to the White House to send a clip of a previously recorded message from Snoop where he commended Trump’s efforts on criminal justice reform,” Angelos confirmed to Rolling Stone. Among those listed were Harris (who received a commuted sentence), Trump’s former top strategist and White House adviser Steve Bannon, rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, and former prominent Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy.
