President Donald Trump issued a series of pardons, reflecting his pattern of using clemency powers in ways that often sidestep the conventional Department of Justice protocols. High-profile recipients include former congressman Michael Grimm and former Connecticut governor John G. Rowland, among others with varied offenses, from public corruption to gun crimes. The pardons are indicative of Trump's tendency to favor individuals associated with his political circle, raising questions about the integrity of the clemency process and its implications for justice reform.
Trump's latest pardons demonstrate his unorthodox approach to clemency, relying more on personal connections than the traditional Justice Department process.
Among the pardoned is Michael Grimm, infamous for his aggressive response to press inquiries, now recognized for his ties to the Trump administration.
