President Donald Trump issued a flurry of pardons and commuted sentences in the final hours of his presidency, including Drew "Bo" Brownstein, who was sentenced in 2012 to a year in prison for insider trading.
In a briefing, the White House said Brownstein was described by his sentencing judge as someone who "goes out of his way to help people that are less fortunate."
Brownstein has "paid his fines and forfeitures in full," the briefing says.
