President Trump grants several high-profile pardons

President Trump issued full pardons to 15 individuals and commuted part or all of the sentences of an additional five people, the White House announced Tuesday.

Included in the list are Duncan Hunter, a former GOP congressman from California, Chris Collins, a former GOP representative from New York and Trump campaign advisor George Papadapoulous.

The pardons and commutations came at the recommendations of Trump allies in Congress and in the media, as well as Alice Johnson, whose high-profile case Trump granted a full pardon and commutation, at the request of Kim Kardashian.

Papadapoulous had been convicted of making false statements during the Mueller investigation.
