Trump Pardons 2 Men Including 2006 Fraud Convict Adam Kidan

Summary
President Donald Trump on Friday pardoned Adam Kidan and Jack Harvard, with the White House identifying Harvard as a former Texas mayor.
Kidan had pleaded guilty in 2006 to fraud and conspiracy charges tied to his past business relationship with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Abramoff also went to prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to mail fraud, conspiracy to bribe public officials and tax evasion, placing Kidan's pardon in a long-running corruption case context.
The action follows Trump's broader Friday clemency push, after earlier pardons for 11 people that included fraud defendants and Clean Air Act violators.
