President Donald Trump has issued a wave of pardons and clemency just hours before he was set to leave office.

Pardons and commutations were announced for 143 people, including former aides, party loyalists and rappers.

Here are six people you should know about.

Bannon faced multiple fraud counts following an indictment for allegedly stealing funds from a charity he controlled, which purported to raise money to help build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico. The indictment claimed the fund was actually a slush fund for the personal expenses of Bannon and his co-defendants, Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea.

2. Kwame Kilpatrick

The former Detroit mayor was serving a 28-year prison term on corruption charges after being found guilty of racketeering and extortion in 2013. Prosecutors had charged that he ran a criminal enterprise out of City Hall while serving as mayor from 2002 to 2008.

Among other accusations, Kilpatrick was found guilty of using donations from his fund for the needy to support his own leisure activities. He was convicted of 24 charges, including racketeering, extortion, attempted extortion, bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and filing false tax returns.

In December, he pleaded guilty to possession of a .45 calibre, gold-plated handgun and six rounds of ammunition despite being a convicted felon following a 2019 search of a private plane in the Miami area. A search warrant said Carter told investigators the gun was a Fathers Day gift.

Lil Wayne has previously voiced his support for Trump and endorsed him for a second term in office, posting a photo of the pair after a great meeting. Trump also pardoned the rapper Kodak Black, who had also been prosecuted on federal weapons charges.

4. Ken Kurson

He was accused of repeatedly visiting his victims at work, making false complaints with their employers and malicious cyber activity. Kurson was charged with cyberstalking three people and harassing two others, including a friend who he blamed for the disintegration of his marriage.

When he was editor, Kurson read and provided input on a draft of Donald Trumps speech to a pro-Israel lobbying group. He later sat in the Trump familys box at the Republican National Convention.

Levandoswki went on to found a start-up called Otto, which was acquired by Uber.

Uber was accused by Googles self-driving car unit Waymo of using trade secrets in its driverless-car technology an allegation that Uber denied. The companies settled their legal dispute in 2018, but Levandoswki had to face criminal charges.
