Trump Hands Out 20 Pardons, Commutations
President Trump on Tuesday granted clemency to 20 convicted felons — including pardons for two men who lied to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators, the White House said.
The pre-Christmas blitz of forgiveness also included pardons for two crooked former members of Congress and a commuted sentence for a third. . .
Trump also commuted the sentence of former US Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who was convicted of misusing charitable funds and contracted COVID-19 in prison.
Another pol, Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, was pardoned for leading an illegal ATV protest through restricted native lands.
US military veterans Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard were pardoned for convictions ranging from first-degree murder to voluntary manslaughter in what the White House called the “unfortunate deaths and injuries of Iraqi civilians” during a clash outside Baghdad’s “Green Zone.” (Read more from “Trump Hands Out 20 Pardons, Commutations” HERE)
