ALL the pardons!
Thursday, Trump announced via Twitter that he will be issuing a full pardon to Dinesh D’Souza.
“The conservative author and filmmaker who pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws in 2014 after he was indicted earlier that year on charges that he illegally used straw donors to contribute to Republican Senate candidate Wendy Long in New York in 2012,” reports CNN.
CNN reports Trump called D’Souza Wednesday night to tell him of the coming pardon before announcing it Thursday. The pardon had been issued before Trump tweeted about it.
The President told reporters D’Souza “almost had a heart attack” upon hearing the news.

Trump issued an Executive Grant of Clemency (Full Pardon) to Dinesh D’Souza, an accomplished author, lecturer, and scholar.Mr. D’Souza was, in the President’s opinion, a victim of selective prosecution for violations of campaign finance laws.
