Donald Trump issued another wave of pardons on Wednesday, granting clemency to his former campaign chief Paul Manafort, his former adviser Roger Stone and to Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
They were among the 26 pardons that the White House disclosed on Wednesday. In addition, Trump commuted the sentences of three others.
The White House released the list shortly after Trump left for Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fl, for the holidays.
Stone and Manafort were among those convicted as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
Stone, the self-described campaign “dirty trickster,” was convicted last year on charges of witness tampering and making false statements, and was sentenced to 40 months in prison. But in July, before he was to start his prison term, Trump commuted his sentence.
Manafort, who chaired Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, was serving a seven-and-a-half year prison sentence, but was released to home confinement in May.
