Trump is pardoning allies and backers. Who’s seeking clemency now?

President Donald Trump has doled out dozens of executive clemency grants in the past few weeks alone, issuing pardons and commutations to major business figures, political supporters and other allies.

Some hope he’s just getting started.

Trump started wielding his presidential mercy powers aggressively on the first day of his second term, when he pardoned roughly 1,500 people who were charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Presidential pardons erase federal criminal convictions, while commutations shorten or cancel prison sentences, and sometimes related fines.

In subsequent months, clemency recipients have included a slew of well-known names, including former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, ex-Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer, Nikola founder Trevor Milton, reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley, disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao.

On Monday, Trump granted largely symbolic pardons to more than six dozen people who were involved in efforts to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race, U.S. pardon attorney Ed Martin revealed on social media. The people included in the batch of pardons are not facing federal charges related to the 2020 election. The presidential pardon power does not extend to state-level prosecutions.

That group includes Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and former New York City mayor, as well as his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Some recipients of Trump’s clemency, including multiple people involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, have since been charged with new crimes.

The Department of Justice’s Office of the Pardon Attorney has a formal process for people to apply for clemency, and the agency has established standards for considering petitions. But Trump’s White House has reportedly taken over much of the process, including by appointing a former clemency recipient, Alice Johnson, as the administration’s “pardon czar.”

Prior presidents have been accused of misusing their clemency powers, including Biden, whose last-minute pardons for his family members and preemptive pardons for others generated bipartisan condemnations.

But Trump’s approach, which has at times favored famous figures and those who have heaped praise upon him, has spurred unique criticism.

“It’s like a celebrity pardon-a-thon,” John Yoo, a former George W. Bush administration official, told The Washington Post in June.

It has also given rise to a cottage industry of lawyers and lobbyists who are charging steep fees to help their clients seek Trump’s clemency, the online publication NOTUS reported.

Trump pulled back on the pardons over the summer, after White House officials grew concerned about the efforts to profit off the process, NBC News reported last month. But the raft of clemency actions in recent weeks suggests that Trump does not currently share those concerns.

That could be good news for a number of high-profile figures who have been eyed as possible candidates for pardons or commutations from Trump.

Based on public reports and the president’s own remarks, here’s who that list might include:

The House Judiciary Committee’s Democratic minority on Monday shared “whistleblower information” that Maxwell, the longtime accomplice of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is preparing a “commutation application” for the Trump administration.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for acting as a procurer of teenage girls for Epstein. The Supreme Court in early October declined to take up Maxwell’s appeal of her conviction.

She “has good reason to believe” that she “may receive the extraordinary grant of clemency from you,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the committee’s ranking member, accused Trump in a letter seeking answers from him.

“Feigning ignorance and distancing yourself from the situation, you have pointedly refused to rule out clemency for her,” Raskin wrote to Trump.

Trump has given ambiguous answers when asked on multiple occasions about that possibility of pardoning Maxwell.

Asked on Oct. 6 if he was considering a pardon for her, Trump said, “I haven’t heard the name in so long. I can say this, that I’d have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look.”

“I will speak to the DOJ,” Trump said when asked to clarify if he was considering it. “I wouldn’t consider it or not consider — I don’t know anything about it.”
