Outgoing President Donald Trump is becoming flooded with requests for clemency from his closest business associates and high-profile criminals.
Since Trump lost the election six weeks ago, calls and emails have been flooding into the West Wing from people looking to benefit from the President's powers of clemency. So inundated is Trump's staff with requests for pardons or commutations that a spreadsheet has been created to keep track of the requests directed to Trump's close aides. More swamp flooding the White House.
