Just less than a month before he leaves the White House, US President Donald Trump pardoned two of his former aides, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner's father, Charles, the media reported.

The three were among the 29 people to benefit from Trump's latest pardons, an expression of the President's forgiveness that confers extra privileges such as restoring the right to vote, before he leaves office on January 20, the BBC reported.
