Trump pardons former advisers Manafort and Stone
- Published
US President Donald Trump has pardoned former campaign manager Paul Manafort, ex-adviser Roger Stone and the father of Trump's son-in-law.
Manafort was convicted in 2018 in an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.
Trump has previously commuted the criminal sentence of Stone, who was convicted of lying to Congress.
They are among 29 people to benefit from Mr Trump's latest clemency spree before he leaves office next month.
One of them is Charles Kushner, a real estate magnate who is the father of Ivanka Trump's husband, Jared Kushner, a White House adviser.
Kushner Snr was sentenced to two years in prison in 2004 for charges including tax evasion and witness tampering.
