Some of President Trump’s current and former advisors have urged him to pardon Michael Milken, the “junk bond” king of the 1980s who went to jail for securities fraud but has since become a high-profile philanthropist and crusader for cancer prevention, child education and other causes.

Anthony Scaramucci, a financier who briefly was White House communications director last year, confirmed Friday that he is among the advocates along with Gary Winnick, a former associate of Milken’s in the 1980s.

At Trump’s inauguration last year, “Gary said to me, ‘Of all the people, given his lifetime achievements and his commitment to health and global progress, Michael has earned a pardon,’” Scaramucci said in an interview.

“It was really an idea that Gary Winnick brought to me at the inaugural,” Scaramucci said, adding that he added his support in meetings with Trump.
