In his second term, Trump has granted unconditional pardons, which fully remove convictions, to several notable people accused of participating in the drug trade. He also made a high-profile pardon of NBA YoungBoy, who was facing just under two years of prison on gun charges.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries joined CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown to react to President Trump's decision to offer a full pardon to Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar.

“This decision clears the air and lets us move forward for South Texas,” Cuellar wrote on X. “The noise is gone. The work remains. And I intend to meet it head on.”
