President Donald Trump's controversial pardons of former Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and the so-called "Blackwater Four" were in line with the clemency he has previously afforded to combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to military law experts both for and against his actions.
The pardons for Hunter, a Marine veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the four contractors for the former Blackwater Worldwide security firm were among a total of 15 pardons and five commutations announced by the White House on Tuesday night.
Citing White House sources, The Washington Post and other news outlets said the pardons Tuesday were the first in a series expected to be issued by Trump before he leaves office.
