Donald Trump has offered a full pardon to the far-right documentary film-maker Dinesh D’Souza and talked about pardoning Martha Stewart and commuting the prison sentence of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.
Later on Thursday morning, Trump announced he is considering pardoning Stewart and commuting the sentence of Blagojevich.
Without giving a full explanation of why he felt she might warrant a pardon, Trump said she “used to be one of my biggest fans”.
Joe Arpaio was convicted of contempt of court last July for defying a judge’s order to stop racially profiling Latinos.
