In a pre-Christmas round of pardons, President Trump granted clemency on Tuesday to two people convicted in the special counselβs Russia inquiry, four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killing of Iraqi civilians, and three former Republican members of Congress convicted of corruption.
Among those pardoned was George Papadopoulos, who was a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trumpβs 2016 campaign and pleaded guilty in 2017 to making false statements to federal officials as part of the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
Also pardoned was Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer who pleaded guilty to the same charge in 2018 in connection with the special counselβs inquiry. Both men served short prison sentences.
