attention.<\/p>\n<p> Trump already has pardoned his former national-security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017 but later worked to withdraw his plea. <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Wednesday that she had heard \u201cno mention\u201d of pardons for anyone other than Flynn, who was granted one on Nov. 25 and was a key figure in special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s probe into ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Below is a table comprising the names of people Trump could pardon

Matt Gaetz of Florida, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/repmattgaetz\/status\/1331445238620164099\" class=\"icon none\">tweeted last week<\/a> that the president \u201cshould pardon Flynn, the Thanksgiving turkey, and everyone from himself, to his admin, to Joe Exotic\u201d because the \u201cLeft has a bloodlust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not unusual for departing presidents to issue pardons, some of them controversial, or otherwise grant clemency. Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who was in prison for leaking secret government information, while Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton pardoned fugitive financier Marc Rich.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opinion:<\/strong> End presidential pardons  <\/p>\n<p>Ahead of his loss to President-elect Joe Biden in November\u2019s election, Trump\u2019s pardons have included one in late August for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefings-statements\/statement-press-secretary-regarding-pardon-alice-marie-johnson\/\" class=\"icon none\">Alice Marie Johnson<\/a>, who had been convicted on a nonviolent drug offense and whose cause was championed by celebrity Kim Kardashian West.
