Donald Trump is suddenly in a hurry. After the American president rarely used his constitutional right to grant pardons and prison terms during the first 47 of the 48-month term in office, now there is nothing stopping the Republican. On Wednesday, Trump pardoned 26 other people, including colleagues like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Charles Kushner, after having already restored the reputations of 15 people convicted Tuesday. In addition, the president released eight criminals from prison.
