President Donald Trump has pardoned or granted clemency to 12 current or former House members throughout both terms, serving as an unusually extensive use of commutation power for legislators.
The president’s most recent use of his clemency powers was for Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), the only one of the 12 who had not been convicted yet, after he was indicted on corruption charges during the Biden administration.
