The White House Counsel's office included Gambino's name on a list of pardoned candidates to be sent to the DOJ for criminal background checks.

...Club owner Steven Kaplan, who has been indicted along with 16 others, including one former and one active Atlanta police officer and two dancers named "Diva" and "Frederique." Each is charged with enriching a criminal enterprise run by Kaplan. He, in turn, according to prosecutors, paid the Mafia's Gambino family for protection.

The women sometimes would...
