United States President, Donald Trump will issue around 100
pardons and commutations on Tuesday, his last full day in office.
Beneficiaries include white-collar criminals and
high-profile rappers.
White House advisors held a meeting to finalize the list,
CNN reports.
Many are eager for the release, to see whether or not Trump
granted clemency to more controversial associates, members of his family or
himself.
In December, he approved scores of pardons, including to
allies convicted for criminal offences.
The President will officially exit office at 12pm on January
20.
Trump is under pressure to pardon his supporters involved in
the US Capitol invasion.
“There are a lot of people urging the President to pardon
the folks. To seek a pardon of these people would be wrong”, Senator Lindsey
Graham said Sunday on Fox News.
