Among them, New Jersey's Charles, the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The elder Kushner previously pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax invasion and one for retaliating against a federal witness.

Others given pardons include Roger Stone, who was convicted of lying to Congress and Paul Manafort, Trump's 2016 campaign manager who was convicted by a jury of banking and tax crimes, and had been serving his 7.5-year sentence at home over COVID-19 fears.

On Tuesday, Trump pardoned GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter of California. The following day, he did the same for his wife, Margaret Hunter, who pleaded guilty to misusing campaign funds.
