President Donald Trump has commuted the sentences of 11 prisoners and pardoned 28 other people in his nearly four years in office.

Some of his recent clemencies include suffragette Susan B. Anthony and the Republican strategist Roger Stone, who was convicted in the Russia investigation.

Trump has developed a track record of using his clemency powers on controversial figures, political allies, or people who have been championed by the media or celebrities.

The Constitution grants the president sweeping powers to pardon people or grant clemency.

With just months left in his first term, President Donald Trump has commuted the sentences of 11 prisoners and pardoned 27 people.

The figures pale in comparison with those of previous presidents — former President Barack Obama granted a whopping 1,927 clemencies in his two terms, and former President George W. Bush granted 200.

Trump's clemency choices are also particularly notable, given that many of them have gone to political allies, or people who have been championed by conservative media, prominent Republicans, or celebrities.

He recently pardoned Alice Johnson, the woman whose life sentence he commuted in 2018 after her case was championed by Kim Kardashian West.

During the second night of the Republican National Convention, Trump also used footage of himself signing a pardon for the convicted bank robber Jon Ponder.

Trump also recently commuted the sentence of his longtime ally Roger Stone, who was convicted in the Russia investigation and sentenced to three years in prison.

The president's clemency power is sweeping — he can decide to legally forgive or free anyone convicted of federal crimes.

Pardons essentially forgive people who have been convicted of crimes, removing any remaining punishments and restoring their rights. Commutations, on the other hand, merely reduce a prisoner's sentence.

Here's everyone Trump has granted clemency to so far.
