During his tenure in the Oval Office, President Trump has made headlines for some of the pardons and clemency he has issued. One case, brought to the president's attention by Kim Kardashian, led to Trump commuting the sentence of Alice Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent role in a drug trafficking operation.
In more controversial cases, the president has stepped in to pardon convicted war criminal Clint Lorance, a first lieutenant whose own men turned him in and testified against him at his court martial, and conservative personalities Scooter Libby, Dinesh D'Souza, Joe Arpaio, and Conrad Black.
