Trump grants pardons to ex-aide Bannon, Lil Wayne, 71 others

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday pardoned 73 people, including his former aide Steve Bannon, the White House said , just before he was due to leave office .

“ President Donald J . Trump granted pardons to 73 individuals and commuted the sentences of an additional 70 individuals , ” his administration said in a statement .

Bannon was granted clemency after being charged with defrauding people over funds raised to build the Mexico border wall that was a flagship Trump policy.

The president — who will leave office on Wednesday — made his last- minute decision after speaking to Bannon by phone .

The pardon would effectively wipe away charges against Bannon, if he was convicted, it said .

Trump will fly to Florida on Wednesday morning — skipping Joe Biden ’ s inauguration.
