Trump issues 26 new pardons, including ones for Stone (lying, witness tampering, obstruction of justice), Manafort (fraud, tax cheat) and Charles Kushner (tax cheat, campaign violations, witness tampering)
President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening announced 26 new pardons, including ones for longtime ally Roger Stone, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner's father, Charles.
[I spared you (well, me, really) all the necro-threads...]
Haha, Duncan Hunter's thrown-under-the-bus-ex wife (illegal use of campaign funds) got a pardon the day after her ex-husband.
Also on the list:
Jesse Benton is a Kentucky political operative who married into the family of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and was convicted in 2016 on charges tied to campaign finance violations. Benton and an associate, John Tate, were involved in an effort to pay bribes to an Iowa state senator in exchange for the lawmaker's endorsement for Ron Paul's 2012 presidential bid. Both men were handed a six-month home confinement and two years of probation. Tate was also pardoned on Wednesday.
