Trump pardons Steve Bannon, Lil Wayne, dozens of others; also commutes sentences

President Trump issued 73 pardons and 70 sentence commutations early Wednesday as he prepared to leave office.

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was serving a nearly 30-year sentence on corruption charges, was among the 70 who had their sentences commuted just hours before President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office. Trump was not expected to attempt to issue himself or family members a preemptive pardon, sources told Fox News.
