Donald Trump pardons ex-campaign chairman

US president Donald Trump has pardoned former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, ex-adviser, Roger Stone and the father of Mr Trump’s son-in-law.

Manafort was convicted in 2018 in an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.

Trump has previously commuted the prison sentence of Stone, who was convicted of lying to congress.

They are among 29 people to benefit from Mr Trump’s latest pardons before he leaves office next month.

Twenty-six of them won full pardons on Wednesday night, while another three received commutations.
