President Trump issued a flurry of clemency orders on Tuesday, pardoning financier Michael Milken, who spent nearly two years in prison for securities-law violations, and commuting the 14-year sentence of ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of trying to sell a US Senate seat.

Trump also issued full pardons for former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward J. DeBartolo Jr. Trump has now issued a total of 35 pardons or sentence commutations since 2017, far more than his two immediate predecessors in the first three years of their administrations.
