Trump’s growing clemency push includes a double pardon and sweeping grants
TL;DR
Trump has dramatically expanded federal clemency in his second term, issuing a large number of pardons and commutations—including a second pardon for Adriana Camberos in a separate case—and rolling out a sweeping set of pardons tied to January 6 and other political allies. His pace far exceeds that of Biden or Obama, aided by a dedicated pardon czar, Alice Marie Johnson. The clemency power applies only to federal charges, with pardons erasing convictions and commutations reducing sentences.
