The civil case is just there as an example (among many) of what kind of person he is and didn't need to be in the headline. The pardon was for the 3 year prison sentence for $39 Million dollars in tax fraud for he stealing his employees payroll tax withholdings.

Edit: He also had a prison sentence from the state of Arkansas, where he was immediately paroled and the parole board refuses to pass on his location to process servers. An all around amazing guy who's exactly the sort of person you would expect Trump to pardon.
