Dr Salomón Melgen (abcaburkina.org)
On his final day in office, President Donald Trump is eyeing clemency for Dr Salomon Melgen, the jailed Florida ophthalmologist who was tied to Senator Robert Menendezâs corruption case.
Trump, who will be leaving the office on Wednesday, January 20, will be granting pardons to roughly 100 people, ranging from criminal justice reform-related pardons to political allies, CNN reported on Monday, January 18, citing three anonymous sources. Trump is able to issue pardons up until he leaves office at noon, and it has traditionally been among the final actions before a presidency ends.
