USA Today is reporting that POTUS has compiled a pardon list that may surprise many Americans living in the USA.
President Donald Trump will put out a final list of pardons sometime before his term expires at noon Wednesday,,according to advisers.
Trump is not expected to pardon himself or issue preemptive pardons for members of his family. Some of Trump's pardons are likely to be criticized, advisers said, and have been the subject of intense lobbying of the president by attorneys, political allies and other interested parties.
Allies have also warned Trump not to pardon supporters who have been charged with breaking into the U.S. Capitol January 6.

President Trump has granted nearly 100 acts of clemency, a low number in historical terms, but the list of controversial figures continues to grow.
Joe Biden’s pick for attorney general, Merrick Garland, is a man of the law. He may consider it important to establish, against Trump’s self-pardon, that no one, including a president, is above the law.
