Donald Trump Pardon List Every Person Granted Clemency by the President
On 1/19/21 at 12:23 PM EST
President Donald Trump was expected to pardon more than 100 people in his final hours in office. The list of people Trump pardoned was announced early on Wednesday, and revealed that Trump pardoned 73 people and commuted the sentences of 70 more.
Among those hoping to be pardoned were some rioters who stormed the Capitol building earlier in January, though they were not pardoned by the president. They ll be another abuse of power by a corrupt, failed, one-term, twice-impeached president who has routinely undermined the rule of law, the constitution, and our democracy.
Cohen has predicted how the last few weeks of Trump s presidency will play out That s when he ll probably try to drop the pardon power for Jared, Don, Ivanka, Eric, Allen Weisselberg [Trump Organization CFO], Cohen said Monday
He said pardons could produce significant problem for Trump since a person is no longer able to invoke the Fifth Amendment once they receive pardon So all of these people may ultimately be his downfall, Cohen added, simply because they’ll be testifying against him, either for a court or a tribunal
