Some of the pardons include his former 2016 Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort.
Manafort was sentenced to more than seven years in criminal cases that resulted from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
He also granted a pardon to Roger Stone, his longtime adviser.
Stone was convicted for lying to Congress about the Russia probe and months ago President Trump commuted his prison sentence.

That’s the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. He finished his sentence more than a decade ago for financial crimes and witness tampering.
