President Donald Trump’s pardon of former Rep. Michael G. Grimm is on the public record.
The Department of Justice released pardon documents Thursday, a day after reports that the president had issued them. A White House official confirmed the New York Republican’s pardon ahead of the official release.
The pardon, one of a slew of clemency actions by Trump just this week, is the latest case of the president granting leniency to a former public official — with another onetime Republican congressman, former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland, also pardoned in the latest round.
