Continuing with his pardon spree before leaving office, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued full pardons to his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, associate Roger Stone, and father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, real estate developer Charles Kushner. Manafort was convicted as part of the special counsel probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 US election. Trump had earlier commuted the criminal sentence of Stone, who was convicted of lying under oath to lawmakers. Just a day earlier, Trump had granted pardon to 15, including his Republican allies.
