President Trump is preparing to issue around 100 pardons and commutations on his final full day in office Tuesday, a major batch of clemency actions that includes white collar criminals, high-profile rappers and others but — as of now — is not expected to include Trump himself.
Trump met Sunday with his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, daughter Ivanka Trump and other aides to review a long list of pardon requests, The Washington Post reported.
Initially, two major batches had been ready to roll out, one at the end of last week and one on Tuesday. Now, officials expect the last batch to be the only one — unless Trump decides at the last minute to grant pardons to controversial allies, members of his family or himself.
The final batch of clemency actions is expected to include a mix of criminal justice reform-minded pardons and more controversial ones secured or doled out to political allies.

Do any YWN readers know whether it’s illegal for DJT to sell pardons? Would it be ok for him to take big money for issuing a pardon?
Nothing this insurrectionist criminal does should be valid.
I take all news now with a grain of salt
Kol HaKavod! That’s a tradition in this country! I just hope he doesn’t do another stupid thing to get him further into trouble! He was a great president who did alot of great things during his four years. He also did alot of stupid things that likely cost him the reelection. I wish him well and thank him for his great accomplishments. He will go down in history as a great president once the dust settles.
