Where this site has a sourced entry, the result links to it. The lookup does not send what you type anywhere: the matching runs in your browser, and it keeps working with no signal once the page is open. (Like other reading pages, this page loads Google advertising code and Google Fonts, and Google Analytics if you allow it; see Privacy.)
What this covers, and what it does not
The Justice Department publishes tables of the clemency grants of Trump’s second term, and those tables list 165 recipients — 156 people and nine companies — across 33 dated batches, the most recent September 8, 2026 (169 entries, counting four amended re-issues). This searches all of them.
It is not every grant. Roughly 1,800 grants have been made in this term. The difference is mass clemency: the January 6 proclamation alone covered about 1,500 people, and a proclamation can cover people it never names. If a name is not here, that is not evidence the person was not granted clemency — it means they are not in the tables the Justice Department prints, which is a much narrower thing.
It covers Trump’s second term only. The Justice Department lists the grants of his first term (2017–2021) on separate pages, for pardons and commutations, and this lookup does not search them. It does find this site’s own case files on nine first-term pardons, among them Paul Manafort’s and Michael Flynn’s.
For broader coverage, pardons.hackingbutlegal.com tracks far more grants than this site does: both of Trump’s terms, plus the people named in the proclamations. It is not ours and we have no connection to it. When we checked it on September 30, 2026, it was current through August 24, 2026, so it did not yet include the September 3 and September 8 grants, which you can search here. For January 6, it lists by name the 14 people whose sentences the proclamation commuted, and a few others, but not the roughly 1,500 the proclamation pardoned without naming them.
This list is rebuilt from the Justice Department’s page, which this site checks on a daily schedule. Where a name has a sourced entry here, the result links to it. That entry, or the group entry it is part of, gives the lobbyist, donor, business tie or political relationship the record shows, or a plain statement that none is documented, with any response on record and every source.
The names come from the Justice Department’s public clemency tables, which are U.S. government works and free to reuse. The Ledger’s own sourced entries are free under CC BY 4.0.
Corrections. September 30, 2026: This page called the 169 entries in the Justice Department’s tables “169 people”. They record 165 grants, to 156 people and nine companies; the other four entries are amended re-issues. It did not say that it searches only Trump’s second term, and a matching fault left nine recipients who have entries here without a link to them. Wording about privacy, offline use, another tracker’s coverage, what linked entries contain, the data license, grant types in results and an example search was also corrected. Earlier the same day, it corrected a figure of roughly 2,050 grants “in this term”, which was both terms together; this term’s figure is roughly 1,800. September 29, 2026: the tables have 33 dated batches, not 16. Corrections log
