Read full article: Trump grants clemency to five backed by ally Alice JohnsonWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Wednesday granted clemency to five people convicted of committing drug and financial crimes, all of them cases that were pushed by prison reform advocate and Trump ally Alice Johnson. Johnson, in an interview, said that she spoke to White House officials about all five of the individuals cases and others whose clemency she's backing during a White House visit last month. The White House declined to comment on Johnson’s lobbying on behalf of those who were granted clemency. Tanner, who initially faced a life sentence, took part in educational courses and completed hundreds of hours of educational programming. “He made a mistake, a bad mistake like I did, but it should not be a life sentence,” Johnson tweeted earlier this month about McDonald’s case.
