Full list of Donald Trump pardons during his second term
January 6 Capitol Riot Defendants
On his inauguration day, January 20, 2025, Trump granted full pardons to
nearly everyone charged with offenses related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, totaling approximately 1,500 individuals.
This sweeping action included both nonviolent participants and those
convicted of violent crimes against law enforcement.
Trump also commuted the sentences of 14 prominent figures from far-right
groups relating to the Capitol attack.
This included Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader, who was
previously sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspiracy, and Stewart
Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers, whose 18-year sentence was commuted
to time served.
This mass clemency was described by Trump as an effort to "end a grave
national injustice" and promote "national reconciliation. "
Ross Ulbricht
On January 21, Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to Ross
Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road dark web marketplace, an anonymous platform that facilitated the sale of illegal drugs and other illicit goods using cryptocurrency.
Ulbricht had been given a life sentence in 2015 for multiple charges,
including conspiracy to distribute narcotics and money laundering.
The pardon fulfilled a campaign promise Trump made at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention and was supported by libertarian and cryptocurrency communities, who viewed the sentence as an example of government overreach.
He pardoned Ulbricht in spite of his parallel calls for drug dealers to be executed in the U. S.
Andrew Zabavsky and Terence Dale Sutton, Jr.
Trump issued a "full and unconditional pardon" to Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department officers Andrew Zabavsky and Terence Sutton for their roles in the death of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown.
The pair were sentenced for their involvement in the death of Hylton-Brown,
who they had pursued in a high-speed chase for driving a moped without a helmet, and for covering up the incident.
Anti-Abortion Activists
Trump pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists on January 23 who had been
convicted in 2023 under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for blockading a clinic entrance in Washington, D. C. , abortion clinic and intimidating staff and patients.
This included Lauren Handy, the controversial activist inside whose home authorities discovered five fetuses in 2022.
Rod Blagojevich
In February, Trump granted a full pardon to former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who had been convicted in 2011 on multiple corruption charges, including attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, and sentenced to 14 years in prison.
The former Democratic governor has been a vocal Trump supporter, previously describing himself as a "Trump-ocrat. "
Trump had commuted his sentence during his first term, leading to him being released after serving eight years. The new pardon clears his criminal
record.
Brian Kelsey
In March, Trump pardoned the former Republican Tennessee state Senator Brian Kelsey, who had pleaded guilty over attempting to illegally funnel money to
his failed campaign for Congress in 2016.
He was only two weeks into his 21-month prison sentence when he was pardoned. Devon Archer
In March, Trump granted a full pardon to Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, who had been convicted in 2022 for defrauding a Native American tribe in a $60 million bond scheme.
Archer became a key figure in the congressional inquiry into the Biden family businesses, testifying that former President Joe Biden's son had sold the "illusion of access" to his father to clients and business associates.
Trump said that Archer, who had been sentenced to one year and one day in prison, had been treated "very unfairly. "
Trevor Milton
The president pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder of electric vehicle start-
up Nikola, in March, who had been sentenced to four years in prison for fraud but remained free pending an appeal.
Prosecutors said that Milton had engaged in a scheme to defraud investors,
and he was convicted of two counts of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud.
Milton and his wife were major Trump donors, having donated more than $1.8 million to his re-election campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission.
BitMEX co-founders
In March, Trump also pardoned three co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, Benjamin Delo, Arthur Hayes and Samuel Reed.
The trio had pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act by failing to implement a compliant anti-money laundering program.
Michele Fiore
In March the president issued a pardon for Michele Fiore, who had been convicted of seven counts relating to wire fraud for stealing $70,000 she had collected for a memorial to fallen police officers, and instead used for personal expenses.
