Trump pardons – President issues new wave of 26 pardons including Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Jared Kushner’s dad
PRESIDENT Donald Trump on Wednesday evening issued more than two dozen new pardons to loyalists including two people convicted in the Russia investigation and his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father.
The 26 pardons bring the total number of people Trump has granted clemency to in the past two days through sentence commutations or pardons up to 49.
Trump pardoned his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his informal adviser Roger Stone, both whom refused to cooperate with prosecutors in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
