Question

Who are some of the other people past presidents have pardoned?

Answer 1

Philip Vigol (or Wigle) was pardoned by George Washington. George pardoned 12 people. More modernly, Barack Obama pardoned a few people, and including Chelsea Manning, who leaked data for wiki leaks, and Dwight J. Loving, who was convicted if killing 2 taxi drivers, and and was let off parole for life. Our current president has only pardoned one person, Joe Arpaio. One more example (and one of the more interesting ones) comes from Gerald Ford, who actually pardoned Richard Nixon, which was the only instance a president has been pardoned ever.
