President Trump has issued clemency to more than 1,700 individuals since January 2025, starting with blanket pardons for roughly 1,500 January 6 defendants on inauguration day and extending to 2020 election-related figures such as alternate electors and associates in November 2025. Additional grants have favored politically connected recipients, including crypto executives, former lawmakers, and donors, often advanced through informal advocates rather than Department of Justice review. As of early September 2026, the most recent batch of 30 grants included drug offenders and a union official. Through the remainder of 2026, further actions could target remaining allies or expand to new categories ahead of the 2027 cutoff, with trader focus on timing, eligibility barriers, and any procedural or political shifts that alter the pace of approvals.
