US President Donald Trump has announced that he will pardon or commutate 20 people, including former diplomatic advisers of the camp convicted of the so-called "suspicion of Russia."
Opposition and Democratic parties have strongly criticized it as a preferential treatment for former aides.
The White House announced on the 22nd that President Trump will pardon 20 people, including former diplomatic adviser George Papadopoulos, to restore or commutate civil rights.
Of these, Mr. Papadopoulos was accused of falsely testifying to the FBI = Federal Bureau of Investigation about contact with Russian officials who had information that would be disadvantageous to Democratic candidate Clinton before the 2016 presidential election. I was convicted of being an adult.
In a statement, the White House claimed that the reason for the amnesty against Mr. Papadopoulos was "the investigating special counsel, Mr. Moller, prosecuted him, even though there was no evidence of conspiracy between the Trump camp and Russia."
He then criticized Russia's alleged investigation again, saying that "pardon is to correct the injustices of Special Counsel Moller and others."
President Donald Trump has just granted a pardon to former President Flynn, who was accused of suspicion of Russia last month, and the opposition Democratic Party, which has pursued the suspicion, has strongly criticized it as a preferential treatment to former aides.
