President Donald Trump has issued a sweeping series of second-term pardons as part of his ongoing campaign against what he calls a politicized justice system.

President Donald Trump issued a number of high-profile pardons this week, including MAGA allies and donors convicted of nonviolent offenses. Critics cry corruption, but supporters remember Joe Biden's use of the pardon to protect his own family before he left office.

Former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland was one of several people with Connecticut ties to receive a presidential pardon over the years.
