President Trump issued the third pardon of his presidency Friday to I. “Scooter” Lewis Libby, who was convicted in 2007 of lying to FBI agents investigating the leak of a CIA agent’s identity.

Libby worked as chief of staff to former Vice President Dick Cheney before he was sentenced to 30 months in prison and a $250,000 fine. Former President George W. Bush spared him from prison by commuting his sentence.
