Trump's clemency spree extends to ex-gangster, artist, former congressmen
A gang leader who built a powerful criminal enterprise, an ex-congressman from New York who underreported earnings from his Manhattan restaurant and a Connecticut governor toppled in a corruption scandal all received clemency Wednesday in a sweeping series of orders signed by President Donald Trump.
Trump extended relief to at least 11 people whose crimes spanned decades and included tax evasion and extortion, according to a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss decisions not yet made public.
