How Trump’s pardons compare to past presidents’

Quartz (06/06/2018)
  • Some of Trump’s recent pardons were made following lobbying by celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone (Jack Johnson) and Kim Kardashian (Alice Johnson).
  • Late black boxer Jack Johnson was posthumously pardoned for being jailed (1912) for being in violation of the Mann Act (interstate travel with a white woman; Johnson had a white wife).
  • Trump has issued the most pardons in his first 18 months (5) since George HW Bush.
