WASHINGTON â For a second night in a row, President Donald Trump issued a round of pardons and commutations in the final weeks of his presidency, giving full pardons to his former campaign chairman, his son-in-lawâs father and another of his allies convicted in special counsel Robert Muellerâs investigation.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Wednesday pardoned a former Maryland police officer who served 10 years in prison in a police brutality case after her canine partner attacked a man suspected of burglary.
Stephanie Mohr, a former officer with the Prince George s County Police Department, was among the dozens of people who received clemency from Trump in the waning weeks of his presidency.
Trump has wielded his clemency powers in an unusual way, granting them to several allies, some of whom were convicted in cases tied to the president, and undercutting his own Justice Department in the process.
This week, Trump has issued several dozen clemencies, pardoning his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort; his longtime ally, Roger Stone; his former campaign aide, George Papadopoulos; and his son-in-law s father, Charles Kushner, to name a few.

A former Maryland police K9 handler who served ten years in prison for releasing her a dog on a man believed to be a burglary suspect was among the 29 people who were given pardons or commutations by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
Stephanie C. Mohr was 30 years old in 2001 when she was convicted of a felony civil rights violation for a September 21, 1995 incident, Business Insider reported.
Mohr deployed her police K9 on Ricardo G. Mendez, a Mexican national, who turned out to be homeless and sleeping on the roof of a business that officers were investigating for a burglary. As a result, the dog bit the man’s leg when he fled from police, Newsmax reported.
