Trump issues a flurry of pardons, including for a woman whose sentence he commuted in his first term

60-Second Summary

President Donald Trump issued a burst of clemencies, pardoning 13 people Thursday and granting eight commutations, then adding a Friday pardon for Ontrak executive Terren Peizer, convicted in an insider trading scheme. Recipients included former Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez, banker Julio Herrera Velutini, father of a major MAGA Inc. donor, former FBI agent Mark Rossini, and Adriana Camberos, whose earlier commuted case preceded a new conviction with her brother. The actions, in Trump’s first year back in office, follow the firing of the Justice Department’s pardon attorney and have targeted cases once touted by federal prosecutors.
