President Trump on Tuesday announced a wave of 20 pardons and commutations, including two for high-profile individuals convicted during the Mueller investigation.
Among those pardoned by the president are George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the 2016 Trump campaign who pled guilty to lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation, and Alex van der Zwaan, a Dutch lawyer who pled guilty and was sentenced to jail for lying to investigators during the Mueller probe.
The president also pardoned four Blackwater guards convicted of killing Iraqi civilians and former congressmen Duncan Hunter of California, Chris Collins of New York, and Steve Stockman of Texas.
Last month, Trump pardoned his former national security adviser Michael Flynn. He is expected to issue more pardons before he leaves office in January.
