US President Donald Trump has issued pardons and sentence commutations for 29 people, including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law.
Former adviser Roger Stone was also pardoned.
The actions bring to 49 the number of people who Mr Trump in the last two days has granted clemency either through pardons or sentence commutations.
Yesterday, he pardoned two people who were convicted in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, former members of Congress who were early supporters and former government contractors convicted in the killings of Iraqi civilians.
More to come.
