President Trump’s latest batch of late-term pardons, issued Wednesday, went to his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, longtime friend Roger Stone, and the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Charles Kushner. But the pardon list includes a series of other notable names.
It included Jesse Benton, who was campaign manager for the initial, successful Senate bid of Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, in 2010. Benton, 43, then went to work for the presidential campaign of the senator’s father, then-Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who was seeking the Republican nomination.
