Trump shapes the tone, target of pardon efforts

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Since President Donald Trump returned to office in January, the Office of the Pardon Attorney has reported a surge in federal clemency applications, according to legal sources.

Individuals with federal convictions have submitted requests seeking pardons and commutations, citing Trump’s recent and previous actions as a motivating factor.

Trump resumed issuing presidential clemency shortly after taking office for his second term. In January, he granted a series of pardons and commutations, prompting increased public and legal interest in the process.

During his previous administration, Trump issued clemency to 237 individuals.

Federal clemency allows a president to either pardon a person, officially forgiving a federal crime, or commute a sentence, reducing its length.

The Office of the Pardon Attorney oversees the review process, which includes evaluating the applicant’s conviction details, sentencing history, and personal background.

Recent clemency recipients included persons convicted of corruption and individuals tied to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Applicants must submit their requests through official channels provided by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Office of the Pardon Attorney reviews each case and submits recommendations to the president, who retains final authority on each decision.

Despite the increase in applications, clemency remains a selective process. The president considers several factors before granting relief, including the nature of the offense, the applicant’s behavior since conviction, and legal considerations.

The White House has not released the total number of clemency requests submitted since January. The Justice Department has also not commented on how many cases are under active review.
