U.S. President Donald Trump issued a new raft of pardons on Wednesday for allies, including Charles Kushner – the father of his son-in-law.
In addition, Trump also pardoned his 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort and longtime ally Roger Stone, the White House said in a statement.
They were among 26 people pardoned, and three who had all or part of their sentences commuted on Wednesday by Trump.
