Trumps sweetest pardons. He grinned all the way to the bank.
Seven GOP congressmen: Since Trump took office, two incumbent Republican congressmen have been convicted of crimes, Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) and Duncan D. Hunter (R-Calif.), as has a former congressman, Steve Stockman (R-Tex.). Trump pardoned all three of them. Trump also pardoned four former Republican congressmen convicted before his presidency: Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.), Robin Hayes (R-N.C.), Mark Siljander (R-Mich.) and Randall “Duke” Cunningham (R-Calif.). Their crimes vary in severity. Hayes, for instance, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during a corruption investigation, while Renzi and Cunningham were found guilty of extensive fraud and wrongdoing. But according to GovTrack’s Legislator Misconduct Database, Trump has now pardoned a majority of Republican congressmen convicted of felonies in the 21st century.
