Indian-origin doctor seeking Trump pardon gave $1 million to MAGA fund
Krishna Tripuraneni, who served prison time for tax fraud, donated $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc fund while seeking a presidential pardon.
Indian-American Doctor Krishna Tripuraneni, a retired gastroenterologist from Florida, is a prominent donor to Donald Trump's 2026 MAGA Inc political fund. In June 2026, Tripuraneni contributed $1 million to the fund, making him one of the largest Indian-origin political donors to Trump and the Republican party. Additionally, Tripuraneni has sought a pardon from the Trump administration, having served two years in prison for income tax fraud.
The pardon would restore his civil rights, including the right to vote, serve on a jury, and hold public office. The connection between Tripuraneni's donation and his pardon application remains unclear.
