The White House announced Tuesday that US President Donald Trump issued seven pardons and commuted the sentences of four individuals, including former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

Blagojevich was indicted by federal prosecutors in 2008 for his attempt to personally profit from his ability to fill Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat. Blagojevich received a 14-year sentence. The White House announcement lauded his “exemplary character” during his eight years of incarceration, “devoting himself to improving the lives of his fellow prisoners.”

Another beneficiary of Trump’s Tuesday action was Michael Milken, who received the moniker of “junk bond king” in the 1980s and was convicted on racketeering, fraud and insider trading charges in the early 1990s. Milken spent a little under two years in prison. In announcing his pardon Tuesday, the White House called Milken “innovative” and “one of America’s greatest financiers.” The announcement downplayed Milken’s criminal charges as “technical” and “novel.”

Trump also pardoned Bernard Kerick, a former New York Police Commissioner who went to prison in 2010 after pleading guilty to tax fraud and lying to government investigators. The pardon announcement applauded Kerick’s role in responding to the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Additionally, Edward DeBartolo, Jr., former owner of the San Francisco 49ers, received a pardon from his conviction for extortion in 1998. DeBartolo had paid off the Louisiana governor at the time in order to secure approval for a casino development. The White House’s announcement noted the athletic success of the 49ers during his tenure and DeBartolo’s later philanthropy.

Ariel Friedler, Paul Pogue, David Safavian and Angela Stanton also received full pardons. The first two were also business owners convicted of misconduct related to running their companies. The latter two were convicted of obstruction of justice and vehicle theft, respectively, and are noted by the White House for their extensive efforts advocating for criminal justice reform and inmate rehabilitation.

Additionally, Tynice Nichole Hall, Crystal Munoz and Judith Negron had their sentences commuted. Hall and Munoz were convicted on drug charges, and Negron has served eight years of a 35-year sentence for fraud.
